It is not true humility if a man, perceiving that it is God's will that he should rank above others, refuses to do so.

But it must be hard for a humble man to perceive that God's will is that he outrank others!

Ponder the will of God with respect to good St. Joseph. St. Joseph was to be the superior of the Queen of Heaven, as well as of the incarnate God himself!!!

We are all, at times, the superior of some; at times, the inferior of others. We must simply remember that it is God's authority we exercise when we occupy a superior position, and it is His authority that is exercised in our regard when we occupy a position inferior to another. Sancte Joseph, ora pro nobis.
