What does "se digne hacernos" mean
The word "digne" is not a word but I have read it twice in what I am reading. What does it mean or what verb is it from?

Se dignE only occurs in the present subjunctive form of the (pronimnal) verb dignarse = to deign or condescend (to do something) The present indicative form is se dignA
I think this example could illustrate the use of the verb dignarse in a way that uses hacernos
Pedimos que se digne a hacernos una visita cuandoquiera tengan la oportunidad
= We ask that you deign to visit us whenever you have the time./ We ask that you would do us the honour of visiting us whenever you have the time.
Please wait for confirmation from a native or more advanced speaker before using this example above as I have composed it to illustrate this answer and it may not be correct. I am still learning like you are and the subjunctive is not always easy to use
Without a proper context it would be very difficult to help you understand what you have read somewhere because understanding and accurate translation in most, if not all languages, depends upon a clear and thorough understanding of the context.
If you would be kind enough to include the whole sentence or several sentences where you have read the words: "se digne hacernos" I am sure that someone here would help you to better understand the phrase.
