By Fr. Nnamdi Moneme, OMV, Catholic Exchange - Firstly, there are only two camps in this world: the camp of those who truly belong to Jesus and the camp of those who do not belong to Him but reject Him, His love, grace, truth, and way of life. These two camps are forever opposed to each other and there is no area of agreement between them, “For whoever is not against us is for us.” There is no other option in this world apart from these two, and all must make a choice between them. We cannot be neutral, and we cannot belong to both at the same time: “No one can serve two masters” (Mt 6:24).

By Dr. Donald DeMarco, Catholic Exchange - Humility, on the one hand, should be the easiest of all the virtues to achieve. After all, we did not create ourselves, and we owe a debt of gratitude that we can never pay to our parents and all those who have contributed to our life... as a matter of fact, humility is the most difficult of all the virtues to acquire. Why is there such disparity between realism and fantasy? We are mortal, finite, defectible, and prone to extreme foolishness. That is nothing to be proud of. Yet pride takes hold of us and expresses itself in the three ugly daughters of ambition, boastfulness, and ostentation. We look at our existence through rose-colored glasses. We are truly odd creatures.
