Humility -> Openness

During today's short homily, one idea stuck in my mind: pride and arrogance result in a type of closed-ness (if there is such a word :P) on our part. We are closed to God's grace, greatness...really anything. Humility --> openness. A couple days ago, I had a big realization of a prideful moment and was immediately humbled, which is why this idea was particularly interesting. When we are humble to the Lord, we acknowledge and understand that we do not know everything. We don't try to prove our smarts by questioning.
