Idolatry

Last week I was on retreat at the Longlea Conference Center near Culpeper, VA. One meme that the priest touched on a few times had to do with trying to discover our primary fault. He attacked this from many angles, but at one point he rhetorically asked:

Q: What is our idol?

A: The thing that distracts us in our prayer.

While there are many things that distract me in my prayer, I'd have to say that they all point back to me, me, me and "me" is spelled with a capital P for Pride.
