Why is Pride the most dangerous of all passions? by Fr. Anthony Mourad

Why is Pride the most dangerous of all passions?

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen.

Pride is the mother of all passions, but why is it the most dangerous of all passions?

Before we begin, it is important to note that the passions are the movements within us that misdirect the faculties that God has given us as gifts. Rather than using these faculties, such as the senses, our intellect, reason, emotion, creativity, compassion, etc., to make our way to God and to grow in the likeness of His Son, the passions will disorient us and lead us further away from God. In this case, the passion of pride will always misdirect a person to constantly focus on the self!
