  • 055_The 7 Deadly Sins and Heavenly Virtues_Pride vs Humility

    The greatest enemy of your soul may not be lust, greed, or anger.

    It may be the sin that turned angels into demons.

    Pride is subtle. It can hide behind success, intelligence, holiness, humility, and even religion. It whispers, "You don't need God. You can be your own master."

    Every other deadly sin finds fertile ground where pride takes root.

    In this opening episode of our seven-part series on the Seven Deadly Sins and the Heavenly Virtues, we journey into the wisdom of Scripture, the Desert Fathers, St. Augustine, St. Gregory the Great, St. Thomas Aquinas, The Imitation of Christ, The Way, and the rich spiritual tradition of the Catholic Church to uncover the true nature of pride and the liberating beauty of humility.

    This is more than a conversation about morality. It is an invitation to examine the hidden movements of the heart and to begin the lifelong journey toward holiness.

    "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6)

  • 052_ Anger: Fire that can purify or destroy.mp3

    In Catholic teaching, anger is a natural passion (emotion) that arises in response to a perceived injustice or wrong, with a desire to correct, resist, or punish that wrong.


    The Catechism of the Catholic Church treats anger under the passions and the Fifth Commandment:


    "Anger is a desire for revenge." (CCC 2302)


    But the Catechism immediately adds an important distinction,


    Anger is not automatically sinful


    Anger in itself is morally neutral. It becomes good or bad depending on how it is used.
