Blog Post 8/23/2023 – The sin of Pride


 

The sin of Pride

Greek playwright Sophocles in Antigone wrote, “All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.”

 

 

Pride is a sin that we need to avoid and/ overcome, it is the root of many sins.  St. Vincent de Paul said, "You must ask God to give you power to fight against the sin of pride which is your greatest enemy - the root of all that is evil, and the failure of all that is good. For God resists the proud."

 

Today ask God for the grace to recognize the sin of pride in your life and beg the Lord to forgive you for past prideful sins and the strength to avoid today and in the future.

May God Be Praised.
