What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
For he who exalts himself, presuming to be something, shall be humbled and abandoned by God.
Desert Fathers
A hermit said, 'He who is praised and honoured above what he deserves suffers grievous loss. He who receives no honour at all among men, shall be glorified hereafter.'
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Then he assigns the reason: and whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Hence in the canticle of the Virgin, Luke 1:52: he has put down the mighty from their seat, and has exalted the humble.
Remigius of Rheims
Which means that every one who thinks highly of his own deserts, shall be humbled before God; and every one who humbles himself concerning his good deeds, shall be exalted with God.
