9. Meek spirits are in high favor with the Father of the meek and lowly
Jesus, for he sees in them the image of his only-begotten Son. They know their
need of guidance, and are willing to submit their own understandings to the
divine will, and therefore the Lord condescends to be their guide. Humble
spirits are endowed with a rich inheritance. Trouble puts gentle spirits to
their wits’ ends, and drives them to act without discretion, but grace comes to
the rescue, enlightens their mind to follow that which is just, and helps them
to discern the way in which the Lord would have them go. Proud of their own
wisdom, fools will not learn, but the meek will he teach his way.
