I work on envy too.. Bishop Barron is fantastic here.. My Pastor, Dominican like St Thomas Aquinas, recommended the Litany of Humility to me. It really helps ground me and is sobering about every side of envy. God bless you.

[@marcihf217]

I once heard a Catholic priest say to stop being jealous and envious. Some of the reasons he gave were: 1. People will often tell you/show you what they want you to see. It is rare they will show you the entire picture. For example, you might be jealous of your friend's wife and wish you had a woman like that in your life -----little do you know she's an alcoholic and a gambler. 2. You waste all your time being jealous of what someone else has, that you forget to enjoy your life. You don't notice the little things. 3. The most important one. You waste all your energy being jealous instead of being grateful to God for what you do have. After hearing this priest, I completely changed my attitude and my life changed for the better.

[@nickwilsonxc]

When I was listening to this it got me thinking. I used to spend a lot of time reading Nietzsche when I was younger. When Nietzsche talks about “Will to Power”, what we call ambition today essentially is will to power wrapped up in one word. In Nietzsche’s short book Antichrist he talks about morality from a will to power lens. “What is good? Everything that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself.” - Nietzsche The title of Nietzsche’s book was not by accident. Will to power (aka ambition) is the foundation of Anti-Christian morality. When you consider the things that people strive for to feel powerful: money, status, sex, drugs, etc. All things the Bible condemns. Ambition, left unchecked, is the root of all evil from a Biblical perspective. I believe there is also Godly ambition. This is when we strive for things with the goal of glorifying God rather than glorifying ourselves. So when we feel the itch of ambition to do something, what we should ask ourselves is why do I want to do this? Will this help me bring glory to God? Or am I doing for worldly rewards like money, status, attracting the opposite sex, etc.?

[@jenelms905]

I like the Litany of Humility, and keep in mind to "walk humbly with God". God bless you.

[@sunshine_JD]

Wow, this got me thinking. I had always thought of ambition as a virtue, one that I should admire and even encourage. Thank you, Bishop, I couldn't agree more that ambition and envy are often two sides of the same coin!

[@Dr_Analise]

So damn true. Everytime I aim for a goal .. I tend to envy others who have it or have it easier than me ... Kind of a side effect ....

[@sarahbartsch3275]

There is a virtue for doing great things or having a 'great soul' and it is called magnanimity. In English, it gets a bit confusing because the word magnanimity has an alternate meaning.

[@ABB14-11]

Same with me! Having goals and preparing for the future isn't bad, it just turns rotten when you think those goals will define and fulfill you

[@gloryrobinson8000]

My opinion (such as it is) is that there is a right way and a wrong way to pursue everything. To pursue a goal as led by the Holy Spirit, partnering with it to become your best self and create something of greatness- bringing more goodness, beauty or truth into the world- is absolutely worthy. This is what all the greats throughout history have done- from Shakespeare, to Albert Einstein, to the Wright brothers. Unholy ambition, on the other hand, manifests itself in an obsessive compulsion that disregards other people for a goal that does not bring beauty, virtue or truth into the world, but gives one a cheap achievement at the expense of the integrity of the soul.

[@darkfazer]

@@gloryrobinson8000 Setting yourself a noble goal seems alright, but that depends on your motivation. If it's motivated by love then everything is fine, if it's motivated by ambition, not so much. I can imagine someone working on a cure for cancer, being very close to a breakthrough only to find out someone has just found one. An ambitious man may very easily do everything in his power to sabotage the enterprise of the other only to come out ahead and receive all the glory that comes with it. If you're motivated by love you'll thank God if at least one more person would've been saved by earlier discovery.

[@annefalola9278]

I indeed am grateful to you Bishop Bishop for this beautiful down to earth homily. ‘Fellow sinners’, I have been greatly helped by meditating on the personality of the ‘Josephs’ - In the Old Testament, Jospeh was the victim of the envy of his brothers, he suffered the humiliation of slavery and later imprisonment…. But God transformed all into the instrument of salvation of a nation and even of those who sold him out. Such a consoling meditation. Then our great St. Joseph, fostered father of Our Lord and the chaste Spouse of Our Blessed Mother happily carried out his mission in ‘periphery’ of the life of Jesus. He humbled performed his hidden role in silence and obscurity. May he intercede for us when we seek protagonism at all costs! In this year dedicated to St. Joseph may we learn from him how to live great virtues in silence. Thank you dear Bishop Barron and and other ‘fellow sinners’.

[@aileenotoole6768]

Beautifully put. Amen to that. St.Joesgh guide and protect us

[@jenelms905]

Thank you for pointing to St Joseph. I want to read the book, Joseph the Silent. "....explores St. Joseph's work as a carpenter, his marriage, his character, the flight into Egypt, his return to Nazareth, etc... "

Thank you Bishop, God bless! Envy is always everywhere, from outside and within, but sometimes you will find a few angels, people who are not envious and are happy with their own lives and what they have. God bless them abundantly because they have taught me a lot.

[@sarahrack3182]

Envy and jealousy are the poison of a relationship. It's where evil starts to come in

[@robertl152]

I think envy in other's success stems also from the psychological assumption that people more successful will look down on you. The fear of being excluded, feeling left out. Which usually is the case since the mantra is always to look up and forward. I don't see the wealthy having brunch with average Joe's. Someone driving his luxury car to his big house while an elderly woman pushes her cart with groceries. No one cares expect for their own well being. This fight for material well being in our society has fueled this feeling now with social media especially showcasing their possessions.

[@joelahnstein2281]

there is a big difference between 'selfish ambition' and ambition. one can seek to improve oneself or one's situation (have ambition) without causing others to fall behind. the most successful folks i have worked with were those who fostered success (ambition) in those with whom they work. one need not put down others or imbibe in 'schadenfreude' at the cost of others while still seeking to improve one's lot.

The driving force of envy is materialism. A system that is domenant within the dysfunction of the human mind. To see that we are all connected beings by God and what we do to others is what we do to ourselves we can begin to live beyond our dysfunction and knowing that there is the spirit of God within us to guide us beyond our human senses.

[@lorriepruitt7846]

Anything that is desired more than God can cause disorder. Even when I place a created good, such as my desire to be with my spouse over and above God, I create disorder. God's love requires my utmost to be placed at His feet; then, we will then walk in that perfect love for other's sake.

This ties in with the film Bishop Barron did on the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Lively Virtues where he presented Humility as the countering virtue to Pride. I think he mentioned there Lewis's observation from the Screw tape Letters of being able to take as much joy in a great accomplishment whether someone else did it or you did.

[@michelledonnanwhodoesntkno5771]

"An irrational anger over the success of others"

[@jayzdunek4026]

Is it ambition or is it blind ambition. We are all given talents. Some of us use those talents for good some don’t. Being mindful of what role God has for us is critical to being able to have enough ambition to achieve maximal use of one’s talents to serve God and bring glory and honor to him. This is a very subtle but necessary difference. Talent in and off itself often does not get the talent utilized for the greatest good, but recognizing we are mere conduits for God’s greater works allows us to achieve a higher level of development in the talents we have been given. That can and often does need to have a splash of ambition to get to the level where it helps others. The key is seeking the Kingdom of Christ first and doing God’s work and tht which honors and glorifies Him. Do that and everything else falls into place.

[@rosythomas3267]

Bishop Barron: Awsome!!! I love your Teachings on Capital sins and especially how you practically recommend to fight the vice of envy with the virtue of admiration of others talents and gifts. This is an essential virtue especially for ordained ministers and all leaders in general. An envious leader becomes an obstacle to the very purpose of ministry. A leader who admires others talents helps others to actualize their gifts to the fullest: This is the greatest love of neighbor.

Dear Lordship I am not sure if I am ambitious but I am a miracle baby and from that story narrated to me by my mother, I have a joyful disposition and a cool confidence about me. But I often get despised and people are sometimes jealous about my achievements. Though I personally am only thankful that I am able to serve. Thinking positively mostly I also encourage others and believe that a kick is a push forward and always have hope. Listening to your talk, I still hope and pray that I don't envy anyone and am not ambitious in any way. But the fact that I have been driven to comment makes it obvious that you have stirred my conscience and I thank God for you and your great insightful talks especially this one which will hopefully strengthen my inner soul.

Thank you Bishop! This is exactly what I needed to hear. I struggle deeply with envy/jealousy and comparison to my sister who is my best friend and I love her very much. She’s lost weight, she’s meeting her goals, very creative and talented, a great cook and a good gentle mom. I find myself comparing myself to her so much and I just feel like I don’t ever measure up. I’m not vocal or mean or anything or put her down but behind every excited, “congratulations!” I’m deeply hurting because although I’m very happy and proud for her I beat myself up like, “How come I can’t be like that, how come I’m not that talented? Etc.” I’m away from home and very lonely and not many friends although I’m blessed with a beautiful family I still feel deep loneliness at times. It’s really affected me and so I draw within myself and sometimes don’t call her for awhile because I feel like my life is boring and uneventful while she’s taking trips and out there. If anybody is reading this please pray for me because I would like to let the comparison go deeply! It’s not healthy for me and the worst part is I know that not feeling good enough is coming from the enemy but I still feed into it. Please pray for me💗🙏 Thank you! God bless!

Your sermon this morning on envy was wonderful. I love this scripture. Philippians 2:1-18 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

I've been saying this to my husband, my daughter, any kind of relationship, (whether in the family, among siblings, friends, neighbours, colleagues, even between husband and wife), no matter how harmonious, strong, solid..... name it... it is, when ENVY AND/OR JEALOUSY, enter it will be ruined or destroyed! Why I say this, because I've experienced it few times, with friends, sadly! This is only plain talking, from a very normal but spiritual, God-fearing, God-loving person. Thanks Father for this spiritual food. God bless 🙏
