Humble Yourself
In this Sunday Mass homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, +Bp. Romie-Jun Peñalosa delivered a powerful reminder for all of us to humble ourselves. Among the seven deadly sins, pride stands out as the most dangerous. Therefore, it is crucial that we remain vigilant against it.
Pride is often an expression of self-interest, and if left unchecked, it can lead us to reject others, ultimately fostering greed. When we continue down this path, pride threatens to destroy our most valuable relationships—our families, our friends, and even our church community.
So, instead of feeding your pride, choose to humble yourself. Humility can be elusive and requires constant effort. We must be mindful and regularly examine our hearts to ensure that pride does not take root. Thankfully, God grants us the grace to cultivate humility within us.
Let us all commit to checking our hearts daily, so that we may walk in humility and avoid being driven by pride.
