Summary

Pride can mislead us into believing we are the center of everything and that we have complete control. Sr. Josephine Garret joins Fr. Josh to discuss the sin of pride and its various expressions in our lives. They answer a question about relinquishing control in life, particularly when things do not go as we desire.

Snippet From the Show

We are finite, our intellect is fragile, our hearts are cloudy, and we need God's help to be purified.
