Sunday(21/6) Pride Catholic - in summary

This Sunday we are reminded" PRIDE DECREESES THE FAITH TO GOD AND INCREASE FEAR AND SORROW IN YOUR LIFE.


Job(3:1,8-11) says"..your proud waves shall break"


Paul says(2 cor 5:14-17)".. Christ..one man..died..then all men should be dead..now..not judge anyone..standard of flesh..who is in Christ..new creation.."


Mk(4:35-41) says"..Jesus said"..cross..other side"..boat..blow gale..almost swamped. But He..asleep..woke Him..rebuked..wind..Be Calm..so frightened? How..U have no faith.."

Reminds: there are 2 machines in your brain (A) logical machine- operate with data+ truth for you
(B) Emotional machine-operate to feelings and emotions.
This emotional machine, normally attracts the Pride. It is too great an admiration of oneself. Pride has 7 evil consequences:
(1)Boasting
(2)Love of publicity
(3)Hypocrisy( a way of behaving in which you pretend that you have better moral principles than you actually do)
(4)Hardheadedness( practical and able to make difficult decisions without letting your emotions affect your judgment)
(5)Discord(formal disagreement or quarreling between people)
(6)Quarrelling
(7)Disobedience

When all these 7 inclinations grow in our dealings with God and neighbour, leads to Egoism.

JOB Through suffering get rid of pride. Which is essential feature needed to follow God's will,under new covenant.
When your emotional machine  balloons with pride,you get fear for slightest disturbance to your normal life.
Jesus clearly showed that HE can do impossible to Possible reminding us, when we follow 10 commandments with no enemies, follow God's Will and avoid 7 vices, specially PRIDE, you will not get emotional disturbance to the situation, as you know God is with you.


A good example, of dying without any emotional agony was the death of St Maximillian kolbe.

A franciscan priest, St Maximillian Kolbe,(born 1894) who was sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz for opposing nazis: he died(14/8/1941)- when he exchanged his life for that of a condemned married man.

What is the difference with Maximillian Kolbe to Jesus disciples?. May be that concept of Holy spirit was absent, until pentecost?.
