For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
All Commentaries on Luke 1:48 Go To Luke 1
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
O true lowliness, which has borne God to men, has given life to mortals, made new heavens and a pure earth, opened the gates of Paradise, and set free the souls of men. The lowliness of Mary was made the heavenly ladder, by which God descended upon earth. For whet does regarded mean but “approved;” For many seem in my sight to be lowly, but their lowliness is not regarded by the Lord. For if they were truly lowly, their spirit would rejoice not in the world, but in God.
