O true lowliness which has borne God to men has given life to mortals made new heavens and a pure earth opened the gates of Paradise and set free the souls of men. The lowliness of Mary was made the heavenly ladder by which God descended upon earth. For whet does regarded mean ; For many seem in my sight to be lowly but their lowliness is not regarded by the Lord. For if they were truly lowly their spirit would rejoice not in the world but in God. – St Augustine of Hippo #copt #orthodoxy #orthod
