Pride is the cause of the poverty of many Christians, who are so
greatly destitute of the riches of Grace. -- Imitation of Blessed Virgin Mary, by Saint Ambrose.
In
this world most of the people live with pride believing in their abilities that
is the main reason this pandemic has struck us to show that how helpless we are
without God.
When
we are living with pride most of us mess up our spiritual life and because of
this the values of life decreases and corruption increases. We have to
understand that God opposes the proud. When we are opposed by God then surely
we have to understand that we may have success for a while and after that
starts series of failures and disappointments.
Pride
is the main cause of spiritual poverty among us and that’s why we find people
asking for prayers are more than people praying. We all who are living with
pride lack Grace and because of this we are unsatisfied with whatever we do.
When
we lack Grace in our life no matter how much we earn we will spend it all or
more in unwanted things like alcohol, drugs and sex and because of this most of
us fall into bad loans and debts. Grace is not earned by us because we do
something good but it is given freely by God to fill the gap to receive
blessing. Without Grace of God we cannot think of receiving great things in our
life.
Let
us examine our life everyday and see whether we are living with pride or
whether we are humble. If we are living with pride then surely before the fall
comes let us turn to God or else we may have to go through hard times for which
we have to prepare ourselves to go through it.
