Humility is in reality a confession
of the greatness of God, Who after His voluntary self-annihilation was exalted
and glorified; wherefore Holy Writ says: "For great is the power of God
alone, and He is honored by the humble." [Ecclus. iii, 21]
It was for this reason that God
pledged Himself to exalt the humble, and continually showers new graces upon
them in return for the glory He constantly receives from them. Hence the
inspired word again reminds us: "Be humble, and thou shalt obtain every grace
from God." [Ecclus. iii, 20]
