10th Sunday after Pentecost 2015
The Gospel for this Mass warns us of the catastrophic results of pride. Firstly, God does not hear the prayers of the proud man. Secondly, pride leads to hatred of God and neighbor, due to our inordinate love of ourselves. We should think often of our death and judgment, especially when we are tempted to the sin of pride. How beautiful it is to see someone accept humiliation with a smile. Everything that happens to us comes from God. Even the evil in the world is permitted by Him for our good. Our Lord endured humiliation to serve as an example for us to follow.
