Elder Paisios wanted us to "relate" to the Virgin Mary. And we are related to the Virgin Mary - he said - with humility, because the Virgin Mary was humble. Let's think: When the archangel Gabriel told Her that she would give birth to the Son of God, the Messiah, She called Herself "the servant of the Lord". "Behold the servant of the Lord - he said to the archangel - born to me according to your word"! And she herself magnified the Lord again, saying, "that he oversaw the humiliation of his servant". For Her humiliation, the Virgin Mary holds the deuteria of the Holy Trinity. St. Andreas of Crete says in one of his tropiaries to Her: "Blessed are you after God, O God, who has the second parts of the Trinity"!
