SUMMARY:Easter Weekday
DESCRIPTION:GOD CAME TO TEACH HUMILITY\nFrom a sermon by St Augustine 6\n◊◊◊\nPride is the source of all diseases\, because pride is the source of all sins.\nWhen a physician removes a disorder from the body\, if he merely cures the\nmalady produced by some particular cause but not the cause itself\, he seems to\nheal the patient for a time; but while the cause remains\, the disease will repeat\nitself.\nFor example\, to speak of this more expressly\, some humor in the body\nproduces sores; a high fever follows and considerable pain. Certain remedies\nare prescribed to repress the sores; the remedies are applied and they work. You\nsee the one who was full of sores now healed; but because that humor was not\nexpelled\, it returns again to ulcers. Perceiving this\, the physician purges away\nthe humor and removes the cause\, and there will be no more sores.\nWhat is the source of iniquity? From pride. Cure pride and there will be\nno more iniquity. Hence\, to cure the cause of all diseases\, namely pride\, the Son\nof God came down and humbled himself. Why are you proud\, O mortal\, when\nGod humbled Himself for you? You might perhaps be ashamed to imitate a\nhumble mortal\, but in any case imitate the humble God. \nThe Son of God came in the nature of humans and humbled himself. You\nare commanded to become humble; you are not commanded to go from a\nhuman to a brute. He\, who was God\, became human; you who are human\nrecognize that you are such; all your humility consists in knowing what you are\nyourself. Therefore\, because God teaches humility he said: “It is not to do my\nown will that I have come down from heaven\, but to do the will of Him who\nsent me.” For this is the commendation of humility. Pride does its own will\, but\nhumility does the will of God. Therefore\, “No one who comes to me will I ever\nreject.” Why? “Because it is not to do my own will that I have come down from\nheaven\, but to do the will of him who sent me.” \nI came humble\, I came to teach humility. I came as a master of humility.\nWhoever comes to me is made one body with me; whoever adheres to me will\nbe humble\, because they do not their own will but the will of God. Therefore\nthey will not be cast out\, for when they were proud\, they were cast out…\nThus the Teacher of humility came not to do his own will but the will of\nthe One who sent him. Let us come to him\, enter into him\, be engrafted onto\nhim\, that we may not be doing our own will but the will of God. And he will not\ncast us out\, because we are his members\, because he willed to be our head by\nteaching us humility. \n6 Christian Readings. Vol. IV. Catholic Publishing Company.
