They that hate thee have lifted up their heads
If you ever have anything against another, if a brother disparages you, and you are humble for the sake of the devil, you are imitating Him who says: :learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart” (Mt. 11:29).
But the proud man who glorifies himself follows the example of him who says: “I will scale the heavens, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven… I will be like the Most High!” (Ida. 14:13,14).
“Against Thy people they have taken wicked counsel.” All that is necessary is to be God-s people. “And have conspired against Thy saints”…
St. Jerome, Homily
