Greek Expositor (anonymous), on Luke 1:48

Luke 1:48 · Douay-Rheims
“Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.”
On this verse:
“(Isidore.) She gives the reason why it becomes her to magnify God and to rejoice in Him, saying, For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden; as if she said, “He Himself foresaw, therefore I did not look for Him.” I was content with things lowly, but now am I chosen unto counsels unspeakable, and raised up from the earth unto the stars.”
