"Pride is an illusion, a lie and a thief.St Johneudeswithhearts-221x300 And since it is a truth of faith that we are nothing, he who esteems himself and thinks that he is someone is a seducer who deceives himself."

                                                             -St. John Eudes

 

 

For Reflection:

Why is pride so lethal to the spiritual life? How does pride seduce us? (See tomorrow's Grace Line for one saint's explanation.)
