The Humble Person
hy does a person
always praise the Lord? Because that person is humble. What does it mean
to be humble? It means to be unwilling to be praised in oneself.
Those who wish to be praised in themselves are proud. Those who are not proud are humble.
-- Commentary on Psalm 33 (2), 5
Prayer. Lord, how exalted you are and yet the humble of heart are your dwelling.
-- Confessions 11, 31
