The Meekness and Humility of Jesus Christ
By Conor Gallagher ยท Published by TAN Books
Overview
In The Meekness and Humility of Jesus Christ, Conor Gallagher leads readers into forty moments from the life of Our Lord, revealing the quiet strength and divine restraint that define the Sacred Heart. Through deliberate, prayerful meditation on both familiar and overlooked Gospel scenes, he reveals that Christ's meekness is not weakness and His humility is not passivity, but the very power of God expressed in perfect love. This is more than a devotional. It is an invitation to slow down, to contemplate, and to allow the Gospels to reshape the interior life. Gallagher's reflections illuminate how meekness and humility, though distinct virtues, are harmoniously embodied in Jesus, even in moments of conflict, correction, and suffering. The reader is drawn beyond information into encounter, beyond admiration into imitation.
