Meek

Listen to what the Lord says: ‘Learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls’ (Matt. xi. 29). He shows here the root and cause of all ills and their cure, the cause of all good, namely, that self-exaltation has brought us down and that pardon cannot be obtained except through its opposite, humility. -St. Dorotheus of Gaza
