Description
Excerpt from The Interior of Jesus and Mary, Vol. 2 of 2
Were the greatest monarch on earth, to render a similar service to the last of his subjects, we should say he had compromised his majesty as a sovereign, or his reputation for judgment as a man; and humanly speaking, the conclusion would be correct, for humiliations like this are inconsistent with the dignity of royalty, and neither natural affection, nor any motive Of the kind can render them admissible. But such a case would merely involve the humiliation Of a mortal, whereas in the present instance, it is a God who stoops beneath his own creatures, and who considers the degradation in no wise dero gatary to his infinite majesty. It was indeed his humanity which humbled itself so low, yet, the divine nature being united to that humanity, the humiliation reverted to the Man God, who eagerly desired and voluntarily embraced its abjection.
