Life of humbleness & meekness (29)

Pope Shenouda III

A meek person is usually kind, quiet, and peaceful. The meek has a calm voice, and is not quarrelsome, nor provoked, and never breaks off relations with others. It is said about the Lord Christ that, "He will not quarrel nor cry out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench." (Mt 2: 19, 20) (Isa 42: 2, 3)
