Humility: The Lost Virtue

2. Sister Joan explains that the process for achieving spiritual maturity is outlined in Benedict’s twelve progressive degrees of humility. What do you think of this spiritual program? Did any of the degrees of humility raise concerns, appeal to you, challenge you, confuse you? Explain.
