    Thank you Fr. Hugh for taking the time to differentiate between the two individuals in such detail and for the direction needed to be taken to live as God Our Father intended for us to do. There is a lot to reflect upon, but ultimately to live in Humility, is one direction I try to focus on which helps me to keep my feet on the ground and to become a better listener and a more helpful person. Amen

      Appreciate your comment, Tom. Humility is such an endearing quality, as you point out.

    Thank you Father Duffy for sharing this. May God have mercy upon us for we’re all sinners who have fallen short of God’s glory.
    Dear Lord Jesus help me to be humble and walk in your ways and not my own righteousness.

      Fr. Duffy, lack words to express my heart felt joy at the beginning of the series of Christ’ parables. Started with the most touching parable that resonates with me, true worship that God wants and external manifestation of empty ego that leads to nothing. The sin of pride that closes the heart, instead of humility that opens it is what people are living on. Thanx for your excellent catechesis.
