    define meekness
    I am reminded of a recent sermon by Father Ringrose wherein he stated: "Meekness is strength".

    I don't remember his exact words beyond that but from what I remember he basically defined meekness as something like this:

    "Meekness is strength in bearing oneself calmly and cordially towards all afronts and injuries done to us without lashing back in the knowledge that all trials come to us through the will of God."

    Also the book Humility of Heart is an amazing book!  I did not realize that there was an audio for it!  Thank you for sharing that information Gladius.

    yeah my understanding is similar. it's not unconditionally rolling over to your offender or enemy. it's when you are strong but you're not being a bully about it. you remain humble in strength but unleash your fury only when it is justified for God's glory or in defense of his divine and moral laws or in defense of your own life and life of loved ones

    I mean how else would "the meek shall inherit the earth" as foretold by Our Lord? He said EARTH (that means in this life before going to heaven). you can't inherit the earth by rolling over like a coward. you inherit the earth by meekness which is strength and humility but using the strength to claim the earth from God's enemies

    :confused: Who downthumbs St. Teresa, St. Francis de Sales, and “Gladius” for thanking Gray and recommending a book?  Let’s hope these are mistakes!
    Apparently, we have an anonymous troll with a grudge on here. My question got 👎🏼, also.
