Breaking Through Spiritual Pride

Today’s readings reveal how pride can quietly close our hearts to God. King David recognizes that arrogance shaped his actions, while the people in Jesus’ hometown reject Him because they think they already know Him. This homily challenges us to examine where familiarity, comfort, or self-reliance may be dulling our faith. Moments when faith feels ordinary are not failures — they are invitations to go deeper. When we ask the Lord to break through our pride, He renews our hearts and restores our sense of wonder and trust in Him.
