God wishes us to be meek even toward ourselves.
When a person commits a fault,
God certainly wishes him
to humble himself,
to be sorry for his sin,
and to purpose never to fall into it again;
but he does not wish him
to be indignant with himself,
and give way to trouble
and agitation of mind;
for, while the soul is agitated,
a man is incapable of doing good.
— St. Alphonsus De Liguori
