In this episode, we discuss about being pure in heart. It is something we all need to grow in, but it is especially timely given our secular cultural’s celebrations of “Pride month” as opposed to the Church’s celebration of The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ. Then, we tell the story of St. Charles Lwanga and Companions as they died at the hands of a king whose sexual tendencies they never submitted to in the name of Jesus Christ. Support the show

In this episode, Logos Podcast dives in the virtue of humility as opposed to its vice of pride. In the spiritual life, pride is the venomous serpent ready to strike. In fact, we often hear Saint warn us against pride and its destructive nature. Indeed, it seems to be engrained in our every action as human beings. Why do we continue to feed it, this ego of ours, even when it’s clearly hurting us? Better yet, how do we combat it? With nothing else other than good Ol’fashion humility.Timecode:0:00 - Life Update 8:20 - The Topic of the Day12:00 - Our Favorite Sauce 13:50 - Misconceptions of Humility19:55 - The Sin of Pride 29:40 - An Instrument of Pride32:55 - Defining Humility 39:00 - The Cosmic Worship of God45:50 - Humility is Truth48:30 - How to Grow in Humility1:02:40 - The Image of Humility Support the show
