‘… every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.’” … “… an attentive ear is the joy of the wise” … “God, in Your Goodness, You have made a home for the poor” … “God, in Your Goodness, You have made a home for the poor.”
… the Holy Scriptures were passed on to us, so to speak, like letters come from our homeland. Our Homeland, indeed, is Paradise; our forebears are the Patriarchs, the Prophets, the Apostles and the Martyrs; our fellow countrymen, the Angels; our King, Christ. When Adam sinned, we were thrown into the exile …. But because our King is Faithful and Merciful … He deigned to send us the Holy Scriptures … as … Letters of Invitation with which He invites us to our Eternal and Original Homeland … Because of His unspeakable Kindness, He has invited us to reign with Him.
