Archbishop Averky: “whoever rejects his own imagined greatness”

.

“Whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” In other words, whoever humbles himself, acknowledges himself to be unworthy of the kingdom of heaven; whoever will consider himself to be worse than others, only he will end up the greater. Thus, whoever rejects his own imagined greatness, whoever turns from ambition and pride to humility and meekness, whoever becomes as apparently insignificant as this little child, he will have the greater importance in the kingdom of heaven.
