Pride Revisited

Pride is best at recognizing itself in others. This is so because two wills that refuse to bend will always conflict when they encounter one another, and in that conflict there is recognition. Thus we should remember that if we are recognizing pride in another, it is most likely because we ourselves are too proud. We pray then for the grace of God, which is humility, that the plank might be removed from our eyes.

Garb

If the Lord won't accept me in humble clothes, then rich ones will not matter. Dress a sinner up all you desire, he remains a sinner. Prepare, then, your hearts and souls for Mass. Enrich them in purity through faith, hope and, love - and let your garments be what they'll be.
