A friend who had spent some time at a Trappist monastery told me a story that illustrates this point [that those closest to us may often be our “enemies”]. There was a monk there who had impressed my friend with his kindness and humility. When my friend was leaving the monastery, he went to say goodbye to the monk and decided to tell him of this impression. The monk thanked him and then said, “It is a strange thing that God sends us enemies to teach us humility but friends to make us proud again!”
