OUR PASTOR ’S PAGE
The Capital Sin of Pride
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Don’t you just hate it when people go on and on about themselves? When people brag all about their accomplishments or things or friends, doesn’t it annoy you? And people who think they are better than everyone else — who do they think they are? And people who are always right, never wrong! Narcissism, vanity, and pride are so easy to recognize in others, but like many vices, we do not easily recognize them in ourselves. Pride is probably the worst of the Seven Deadly Sins because it is the source of all the other vices. It is rooted in an inflated ego, an exaggerated emphasis on our self-worth and accomplishments. It causes us to feel as though we are better than others, despising others as less important than ourselves. It is the source of the other vices because when we sin, we are actually saying to God, “I know better than you and the Church!” It is the primordial sin of Lucifer. God wants our complete and happiness, but sin is to say, “I did it my way!” It weakens our love for others because we live by this idea: “Hey, it’s my world. You’re just liv-ing in it!” Humility is the virtue opposed to the vice of pride. It is recognizing that we are created by God and in need of his love and help; enabling us to form a true opinion of ourselves, dis-regard shallow popularity and be free from self-obsession. Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. Humility is: Submitting to God and legitimate authori-ty; Recognizing virtues and talents that others possess, particularly those that surpass one’s own, and giving due honor and, when required, obedience; Recognizing the limits of one’s talents, ability, or authority; and, not reaching for what is beyond one’s grasp. It is difficult to find examples of this virtue in politicians, athletes and movie stars. We look to the lives of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and all the saints to show us what humility looks like, and we seek to imitate this virtue. And if we struggle with pride, we must be honest with God in our prayer. In the sacrament of confession, this is where we learn humility. We hum-bly confess our sins, we don’t make excuses for ourselves, and we ask that God keep us humble. But be careful: when you ask God to make you humble, He truly will. So it takes a lot of humility to ask for humility.
Yours in Christ, Fr. Lowry

PÁGINA DE NUESTRO PASTOR
El pecado capital del Orgullo
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, No odias cuando la gente habla y habla solo de ellos? Cuando la gente presume so-
bre sus logros o cosas o amigos, ¿no te molestan? Y las personas que piensan que son me-jores que todos los demás - ¿quiénes se creen que son? Y las personas que siempre están bien, nunca están mal! egolatría, vanidad y orgullo son tan fáciles de reconocer en los de-más, pero como muchos vicios, lo que hacemos no fácilmente lo reconocemos en nosotros mismos.
El orgullo es probablemente el peor de los Siete Pecados, porque es la fuente de to-dos los otros vicios. Está arraigada en un ego exagerado, un énfasis exagerado en nuestro autoestima y logros. Esto nos hace sentir que somos mejores que otros, despreciamos a los demás como si fueran menos importantes que nosotros. Es la fuente de otros vicios porque cuando pecamos, le estamos diciendo a Dios, "Yo sé mejor que usted y la iglesia!" es el pri-mer pecado de Lucifer. Dios quiere nuestra felicidad plena, pero el pecado es decir, "Lo hice a mi manera!" debilita nuestro amor por los demás, porque vivimos en esta idea: "Hey, es mi mundo. Sólo estoy viviendo en él!".
La humildad es la virtud frente al vicio del orgullo. Es reconocer que somos creados por Dios y la necesidad de su amor y ayuda; lo que nos permite formar una verdadera opi-nión de nosotros mismos, al despreciar poco más la popularidad y estar libre de auto-obsesión. La humildad no es pensar menos en ti mismo, pero pensar menos en usted . La humildad es: entregarse a Dios y a su legítima autoridad; reconociendo las virtudes y talen-tos que otros posean, particularmente aquellos que sobrepasan las propias y dar el debido honor, cuando sea necesario, obedeciendo, reconociendo los límites de sus talento, habili-dades o autoridad; y no alcanzando lo que esta más allá de nuestro alcance.
Es difícil encontrar ejemplos de esta virtud en políticos, deportistas y estrellas de cine. Esperamos que la vida de Jesús, María y José, y todos los santos nos muestren qué es la humildad, y que tratemos de imitar esta virtud. Y si luchamos con orgullo, debemos ser ho-nestos con Dios en nuestra oración. En el sacramento de la confesión, este es el lugar don-de aprendemos la humildad. Nosotros, humildemente, confesamos nuestros pecados, no ponemos excusas para nosotros mismos, y pedimos que Dios nos mantenga humildes. Pe-ro ten cuidado: cuando le pidas a Dios que te haga humilde, El realmente lo hace. Así que se necesita mucha humildad para pedir humildad.
Tuyo en Cristo,
Fr. Lowry
