Humility one of the seven loving virtues

Humility is one of the Seven Deadly Virtues, represented by the Archangel Michael, being the opposite of the capital sin, Pride, which is represented by the fallen archangel, Lucifer, who, pretending to be as great as God because of his beauty and pride, defied the whole. powerful.

However, the weakness of humility is precisely pride, for inevitably a humble person will end up becoming a proud person. Because of this, when Michael battles Satan or Lucifer, rather than using his own power, he prefers to say "may the Lord rebuke you", which is a great show of humility.

It says that Humility was created by God during the War in Heaven, when Michael was facing Lucifer, the Morning Star was using pride to hurt Michael, so God said, Let there be humility, and there was humility. With the creation of humility, Michael stopped giving importance to Lucifer's words and managed to defeat the Devil.
