“Pride is the root of all our vices, so that, when once we have uprooted it, those vices will little by little disappear also. This is the true reason of our having to accuse ourselves of the same sins over and over again in our confessions, because we never confess that pride which is the root of them all.”

First published in the 18th century and beloved ever since, Humility of Heart by Fr. Cajetan Mary da Bergamo is a timeless Catholic spiritual classic that pierces the soul with clarity and conviction. With deep wisdom rooted in Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the saints, this book lays bare the subtle pride that infects even the most devout hearts—and offers a powerful remedy: true Christian humility.

Unlike modern self-help books that urge confidence in the self, Humility of Heart invites the reader to place their confidence in God alone. Through profound meditations, Fr. Cajetan shows how humility is not weakness, but strength: the foundational virtue upon which all others stand.

This new edition from Light of the Saints Press includes:

• The complete and unabridged English translation

• A wealth of spiritual maxims and reflections for daily meditation

• Practical guidance for rooting out pride in thought, word, and action

• Wisdom drawn from the the saints, the teachings of Christ and His Church

Whether you are just beginning your spiritual journey or are far along the path to sanctity, Humility of Heart is a powerful companion that will challenge, convict, and console—guiding you to a deeper love of God through the truth about yourself.
