Humble Heart

In this collection of stories, animal friends learn such virtues as thoughtfulness, forgiveness, thankfulness, and humility. Each story ends with a Bible verse.

This book brings spirit-filled prayers to the readers. They have been known to deeply affect several people when sharing. Each prayer is carefully written utilizing the counsel of the Holy Spirit and within the confines of the Lord's Prayer. To be able to communicate with God, we need to ensure our prayers are structured in a way that Yeshua has taught us. In the Lord's Prayer, you will note that the beginning and ending of the prayer is that of glorification and thankfulness. The central portion is the area of requests. One of the problems we have when praying is that we are not always specific in what we are asking for. We need to learn to pinpoint those areas of need and stop being too general in nature. There are many things that we take for granted in our daily lives. Things like the interactions with others, the awakening each morning, and the blessings we receive are just some of these. The inspiration of each prayer in this book lies in those areas we tend to take for granted. If we spend time away from our concrete jungles and instead spend some time out in nature, we will find both physical and spiritual healing. Take the time to just observe and pray. Also included are what I call "Pondering Moments" or mini-sermons. As a chaplain, I do not spend a half-hour detailing thoughts into sermons. I give thoughts for us to think about during the week. I understand that some may not agree with them but think of them as another point of view.

Humility of Heart was written by Father Cajetan Mary da Bergamo a Capuchin priest in 1739. The work instantly caught fire among the religious but remained obscure until it was translated from Italian into English by Herbert Cardinal Vaughan of Westminster. Unbeknown to every subsequent re-publisher of Vaughan's translation was that Vaughan died before finishing the work, leaving the final section of the work untranslated until now.
