What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
For he that has been abased shall be in glory, and he that has bent down his eyes, the same shall be saved. Which same sentence is not at variance with the mouth of 'Truth,' when It says, For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. And hence it is said by Solomon, Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. …
Thomas Aquinas
He shows the reason for these promises saying, "He who will be humbled," by subjecting himself to God in his affection, "will be in glory," which he will get from God. "And he who lowered his eyes," to not think something stupid and proud in his intellect against God, "will be saved," freed, from evils and made steadfast in good.
