Avoid arrogance ...



Where there is arrogance, there is always war and the desire to defeat the other and believing one is superior.
“The evil spirit always sows wars. Jealousy, envy, conflicts, gossip…. are things that destroy peace and therefore there cannot be unity. And how should a Christian behave to promote unity, to find this unity? Paul tells us clearly: ‘live in a manner worthy of your call, with all humility, gentleness and magnanimity.’ These three attitudes: humility - we cannot sow peace without humility. Where there is arrogance, there is always war and the desire to defeat the other and believing one is superior. Without humility there is no peace and without peace there is no unity.” - Pope Francis

Dear Jesus, I adore your disfigured outraged Face.  Would that, by an act of pure love, I could remove the congealed blood from your mouth, wipe the tears and spittle from  your eyes and soothe your wounded brow and cheek.
