When we long for someone to return to the Faith, there’s a danger of spiritual pride. We know our Faith to be true, and we are practicing it to the best of our ability. That knowledge can easily be warped into pride. We may scoff at the Pharisee praying, “Lord, I thank you that I’m not like that poor sinner.” But if we’re not deeply aware of our own flaws, the Pharisee’s attitude and our own may become dangerously similar.
