Fr. Joe Newman, OSFS, on St. Francis de Sales and Humility

"I eat a lot of hard boiled eggs. They are quick to make, can be taken on the go, and keep hunger away all morning. Whenever I make hard boiled eggs, I put the pot on the stove and set my phone alarm. This past Monday, I put the eggs on the stove and set my alarm for 10 minutes while I checked emails in my office. It is important to note, my office is 21 steps away from the stove. I counted! My alarm goes off, I get up, and I was distracted 12 steps away from the stove and forgot about the eggs.

"You see the picture of the kitchen disaster. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Father Joe Newman, OSFS, reflected on the teaching of St. Francis de Sales on  cultivating the present moment and its relationship to humility.
