These were good readings. The problems described in the readings (thinking of oneself like a god) are still present. Some readings aren't as easy to place in today's context. Wasn't Moses guilty of some pride that kept him from entering the promised land?
I liked the part of the reading about how we think we are wiser than David. That is so easy to do. "We" can make the lame walk (false legs for amputees); we can "cure" some cancers either by drugs, radiation, or removal of tumors. We can send man to the moon.
We need to always remember to give God thanks and praise. We can do things only because he has given us something.
One of the prayers that I pray most often (and it is tied to pride) is I thank God for having me be born to the parents that I was born to, and in the country that I was born in. No matter how smart or wise I may think myself, it was not my wisdom that had me born here. This helps me realize that I am not better than all those people in the third world countries. Was it I who determined where I would be born? No. Was it they who decided to be born poor? I think not.
The Gospel today is reflective of today as well. Church is not "needed" for the rich. My wife taught RE a few years back and she actually had a child tell her "my dad says we don't have to go to church because we're rich". Sometimes the rich are the poorest in faith. That really brings clarity to Jesus' saying "the last will be first and the first will be last".
