The trait I value is that I am aware that I am not perfect. To put it another way, that I am a sinner who needs Jesus every moment.

Think, read, pray. Maybe write?

Via St Paul, “worry about the things that are within your control”. And those outside of your control, leave alone.

Do not expect too much from others – it only leads to disappointment.

… pray!

Not a profession (as in “job”) but religious – the hermits who live complete off-the-grid.

The commitment to an ideal – in this case a person – is what I admire. These hermits turn their backs on all things that this world looks for and simple turn to Jesus. “Deny yourself and follow me.”

Faith! To follow Jesus unconditionally in hiddenness and “fear of the Lord” (accountability). To be forgotten by the world and only seen by Jesus.

To my knowledge, I have never had a nickname. I have been called Father (that is, as a priest) in the past. But that was a relational term rather than a nickname.
