Glory to Jesus Christ. I'm Mother Natalia, a Byzantine Catholic nun from Christ to the Bridegroom

monastery and this is Pines with Aquinas. Today I'm finishing up our series on the Eight Evil

Thoughts which is maybe a cause of great rejoicing

for some of you who have been waiting to move on to more cheerful topics.

So today we are talking about vane glory and pride.

Before I get into that, there are two notes

that I want to make.

One is that I want to make a correction,

which is appropriate on the episode about Vane glory and Pride. I want to make a correction about the last episode

which is that in my closing prayer as I was praying through the intercession of different Saints, I included

Evagrius and as it was coming out of my mouth, I was like, Evagrius is not a canonized saint and then I meant to

Anyways I meant to ask Thursday to edit that out before the episode was published but then I forgot. So just for the sake of correct

information of Agrias is not a canonized saint one of the father's though.

He is considered one of the one of the fathers though.

Okay, so vane glory and pride is what we're talking about today.

So Vane glory is very close to pride.

The two are super related, which is why,

as I mentioned in the introduction episode

to this series, Gregory the Great, St. Gregory the Great combined

vanglorian pride. So I'll try to make some distinctions as I go, but quite frankly

I'm not super clear and like I often get muddied in this and so

conveniently I don't need to distinguish them very much because I just have so much of both
