In short, NO… According to Orthodox teaching \u201cpride\u201d is the source of all sins. Pride is selfish, disobedient, and self-righteous. No wonder the first person to exercise pride was the devil, who, being the closest angel to God, rebelled against his Creator. So, the questions we should ask ourselves are: What are we really celebrating? Should we, Christians, teach our children that pride is good and needs to be celebrated every year in June? Is pride not a sin anymore? Is sexual immorality ok now??? As Orthodox Christians, we should counter the celebrated vice of pride with the often-scorned virtues of humility and true love\u2026 If we love our neighbors as ourselves, we will try to do what is best for them. Can there be anything better than Heaven and eternal life with our loving Creator? Of course, not! So, we should humbly remind ourselves and those, who are involved in certain lifestyles of that: \u201c\u2026\u00a0neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,\u00a0nor thieves, nor\u00a0the<\/em>\u00a0greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will\u00a0inherit the kingdom of God\u201d (1 Cor. 6, 9-10). It is out of Christian charity that we should pray during this month of \u201cpride\u201d, that all God\u2019s children<\/u> may \u201cbe saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth\u201d (1 Tim. 2, 4). It\u2019s out of our Christian duty that we need to remember the words of St. Paul: \u201cHave nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,\u00a0but rather expose them.\u00a0It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret\u2026 Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as the wise,\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>making the most of every opportunity,\u00a0because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord\u2019s will is.\u201d (Eph. 5, 11-17)<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cCOFFEE and\u2026\u201d<\/strong>: Thank you to everyone who continues to support coffee and\u2026 Please remember that the money goes to the scholarships fund for your children!
