Humility And Exaltation

Humiliatus sum usquequaque, Domine, vivifica me secundum verbum tuum. Didicit humilitatem, quam Christus docuit, qui mitis est et humilis corde. Ideo nunc deprecatur, ut sicut ille post humilitatem formae servilis exaltatus est in gloriam Dei Patris, ita et iste ab hac humilitate corporea in vitam transferatur aeternam. Alcuinus, Expositio In Psalmos Poenitentiales Source: Migne PL 100.611b

I am humbled utterly, O Lord, enliven me according to your word. 1 He has learned humility, as Christ taught, He who is meek and humble in heart. Therefore now he prays that as He after humiliation in the form of a servant was exalted to the glory of God the Father, so from this humble body he be transported to eternal life. Alcuin of York, Commentary On The Penitential Psalms 1. Ps 118. 107
