Text of Note

"And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross." Simply, this thesis is on the humility and obedience of Jesus Christ according to Saint Thomas Aquinas. First, according to St. Thomas Aquinas and the Monastic Tradition, humility and obedience are examined as infused moral virtues. Second, this thesis shows how the human person of Jesus Christ perfectly possesses the virtues of humility and obedience according to His human nature and by way of His knowledge that He has of His Father. Third, this thesis shows how Christ was humble and obedient in his life on earth, through his prayer, his interactions with the poor, his teachings, and most especially, in His Passion. Finally, this thesis concludes with a commentary on St. Paul's Christ Hymn in Philippians chapter 2, so as to further understand the meaning of Christ's humility and obedience in relation to his death, the relation between these two virtues in Christ, and what fruits Christ bore from his death on the Cross.
