All the things we pray that God would free us from in the Litany of Humility, all these things we cling to so tightly—love, honor, praise, esteem, attention, approval—are exactly the things that make us miserable and enslave us to the world. The Lord wants to lift us beyond the bounds of earthly happiness, and yet we cling to these burdens that keep us tethered down. But when we realize that these are the roots of our greatest misery, we will begin to loosen our grip on them and begin to discover what truly fulfills us.

Thank you for this, Erin.
It is a good reminder.
Have a good day
