22 Manifestations of Pride Every Catholic Should Examine | St. John the Baptist

About this sermon

"He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30) On the Feast of St. John the Baptist, we are reminded that humility is the foundation of the spiritual life. St. John spent his entire mission pointing souls away from himself and toward Jesus Christ. In this powerful sermon, Fr. examines 22 manifestations of pride that quietly destroy the spiritual life. Pride is the queen of all vices—the root from which countless sins grow. Through a careful examination of conscience, Catholics can recognize these hidden forms of pride and begin cultivating the humility that Our Lord Himself commands: "Learn of Me, because I am meek, and humble of heart." Among the manifestations discussed: • Self-sufficiency • Self-complacency • Arrogance • Vanity • Taking credit for others • Desire for recognition • Discouragement • Envy • Pride of life • Hardness of judgment • Egoism • Imposing one's own opinions • Timidity rooted in pride • Overthinking and brooding • Suspicion • Rationalism • Ambition • Rash judgment • Criticism • Hypocrisy • Calculating selfish gain • Distrust of others As Catholics striving for holiness, we must continually battle pride through humility, confession, prayer, and frequent reception of the Holy Eucharist. May the example of St. John the Baptist inspire us to empty ourselves so that Christ may reign more fully within us.
