Arrogance, Humility; plus, Redemption

   
  
 "Arrogance, Humility; plus, Redemption"

   Went to Mass today, imbibing the Holy Eucharist.  The Priest spoke on arrogance and humility, saying:  "No one likes an arrogant soul."  Yet is that true, in this America?
   The famous in Hollywood and physicians speak of the heart taking blood for itself before offering it to the other organs.  Yet the Saints beg to differ.  Christ telling Papa:  "Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Thine be done."  And salvation arriveth for the fools for Christ, such as Saint Francis dubbed himself.
   Verily, arrogance and pride are in high demand.  For their bigger milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard--better than yours.  And next:  they win a musical award or plaudits from earthly princes.
   Confidence, what?  Who is to be confident in anything save God?  Did you forge yourself into existence?
   But when arrogance is blasted due to the fibs of folly, we emasculate people, such as Johnny Manziel.  Yet, with all men--there is REDEMPTION!
   Only the Third Eye can see such things, glowing indigo, and sometimes with righteous shame, further chiseling an attitude of humility.  Did you not steal my sister's heart into your viper's den of demons?  Does a physician pride himself on brains, when antibiotics and anti-depressants are over-prescribed?  Furthermore, these men of medicine are one of the largest contributors to death, yet King David's ode to medical and benign herb gets you sodomized in the supposedly greatest country on Earth--so our pride claims.  
   But again:  there is always redemption, seen by such men as Twain, writing out of anger, yet finding humility, and getting to know Saint Joan, forgiving the sometimes tempting fairies under the tree.  We must bleed for others, lest Christ will not bleed for us.  And as He kinda/sorta and truly mentioned:  "You do not want to meet the Father without Me!"
