CQOD: 11/07/05 -- Augustine: pride destroys good

Christian Quotation of the Day

November 7, 2005

Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739

Meditation:
    You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
    -- Revelation 3:17-18 (NIV)

Quotation:
    Other sins find their vent in the accomplishment of evil deeds, whereas pride lies in wait for good deeds, to destroy them.
    ... St. Augustine (354-430)

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, defeat my pride, I pray, and transform it into compassion.
