In His Sermon, Pope Francis Warns Believers on The Dangers of “spiritual arrogance”  – See What He said

In his Sunday Angelus address, Pope Francis warned that “spiritual arrogance” can lead to adoration of one’s ego instead of God.

Speaking from the window of the Apostolic Palace on Oct. 23, the Pope said that there is a temptation to “concern ourselves with how we appear rather than how we are”  and to be “trapped by narcissism.”

“Where there is too much ‘I,’ there is too little God,” Pope Francis said.

He explained that with true humility, on the other hand, “we become capable of bringing what we are to God, without pretense: the wounds, the sins and the miseries that weigh on our hearts, and to invoke his mercy so that he may heal us, restore us and raise us up.”

“It will be he who raises us up, not us. The more we descend with humility, the more God raises us up,” he said.

Reflecting on Sunday’s Gospel from Chapter 18 of the Gospel of Luke, Pope Francis said that everyone should look closely at the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican and ask themselves whether they are judgemental and convinced of their own righteousness, like the Pharisee.

Pope Francis said: “To rise towards him we must descend within ourselves: to cultivate the sincerity and humility of the heart that give us an honest outlook on our frailties and interior poverty.”

“Let us ask the intercession of Mary Most Holy, the humble servant of the Lord, the living image of what the Lord loves to accomplish, overthrowing the powerful from their thrones and raising the humble,” he said.
