Thanks for the reminder. In confession it always helps me when the priest asks me directly about pride, because it is what sneaks into me the most without realizing it. Does anyone else have a Gospel passage that helps them prepare before going?

Julia Wagner

Yes, the priest asking directly about pride really helps. For me it's often the Gospel of Luke 18, the tax collectors and the Pharisees - that's when I realize how easy it is for me to think of myself as better. Thanks for the tip, Alejandro.

Yes, pride is the most hidden, as you say. It helps me to reread the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14), especially the phrase “God, have mercy on me, a sinner”; He puts me in my place before entering the confessional. Do you usually prepare with any other specific passage?
