Jesus said: “My people, at times some people are feeling so prideful and prosperous that they think they do not need My help, because they believe that they can provide everything for themselves. The possession of money and worldly things is not a guarantee that you do not need My help. Everything that you have has come from Me as a gift, and it is selfish pride to think that you were responsible for obtaining all that you have. Many times those people, who are rich in this world’s goods, are actually spiritually poor in grace and in following Me. Pride can give you a false sense of well being, especially in your spiritual life. Man will always be a sinner in his weakness inherited from Adam. Pride will always make you think or fail to admit that you have done something wrong in sin. If you do not admit that you are a sinner, then you may not be compelled to come to Me in Confession to repent of your sins. Such people, who depend on themselves for everything, will one day have a very difficult time to get through any crisis in their lives. You are truly dependent on Me for everything both spiritually and physically, whether you want to admit it or not. Without My gifts and blessings you would not even exist. Remember that I gave you life and all of your talents. So believe and love Me, and constantly thank Me for all that you have. By repenting of your sins, praising and serving Me, you will be on the right path to heaven.”
