The way of humility, the God of humility, and the spiritual lives of the Desert Fathers and Mothers

Voices from the Desert

Moses could only say he was the most humble man on the face of the earth after he encountered the God of humility. This is because humility is not so much an attribute we acquire but a participation in the humility of God.
Archbishop Chrysostom of Etna writes :
"Humility dwells in the nature of God Himself. Yet this attribute of God, belonging to a God Who is transcendent, unknowable in Essence, and beyond human comprehension, does not become, on that account, just a quality or adornment when we find it in the human being. As one of the Energies of God, it endows man, too, with a metaphysical power of ontological significance. It is a force that, though belonging to God, touches on and is actualized in man. To aspire to humility is, for the Orthodox Christian, to participate in an Energy emanating from God, to join oneself to a living quality of God, and to participate in Divinity Itself."
