and wht does this mean:

6. Not to look on your gifts and abilities as lent

It's a sign of pride not to recognize that one's resources and talents are gifts of God. In other words, a humble person recognizes his resources and talents as gifts from God.

That book sounds interesting, do you have any quotes from it?

Not at the moment. But I assure you that this book is pure gold. I can't recommend it highly enough. I first learned of it through a very holy traditional priest. I heard a different priest allude to it just the other day.

If anyone is inclined to purchase, might I recommend this fine Catholic retailer? :smile:

if god look in the mirror and say "i am great, i am beutiful, i am the the best" he is not sinning, just telling the truth. cuase he the source. nothing above him. but if we look in mirror and say those thing we are sinning because we get whatever good from him. we take part thorugh free will, but he the source

can i hear an "amen"?
