Pride makes us want to be recognised, to be popular, to be loved by all, to let everyone know our achievements.
Pride causes us to refuse to accept that we are wrong, that we made mistakes, that we are weak and can fall.
"God refuses only the person who does not admit his own weakness; He sends away only the unhappy proud person." (Saint Raphael Kalinowski)
The journey to overcome pride and to strive for humility is a long and difficult one. Time and again we will fail. But it is important that we rise up.

Remember that while you read this message if you think you are a humble person then most definitely you are NOT.
Never forget that humility is the only thing that no devil can imitate. (St John Climacus)
