Humility Does the Will of God
ere human being
that you are, why are you proud? God became humble for your sake! Perhaps
you would be ashamed to imitate a humble man; then at least imitate a humble
God. The Son of God came as a man and became humble.
Your whole humility consists in knowing yourself. Pride does its own will; humility does the will of God.
-- Sermon on John 25, 16
Prayer. You come, O Christ, humble in appearance! Filled with your love, your followers preached in praise of your humility throughout the world of the nations.
-- Commentary on Psalm 53, 4
