Does anyone know good resources (e.g. books, websites, articles, activities etc.) for prideful individuals?

I know Imitation of Christ is one excellent resource.

Anything else?
 
Reading Mother Teresa’s “Come Be My Light” was really powerful for me. Nothing combat’s pride like humility…and Mother Teresa is the poster child for humility!

The Litany of Humility.

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved…
From the desire of being extolled …
From the desire of being honored …
From the desire of being praised …
From the desire of being preferred to others…
From the desire of being consulted …
From the desire of being approved …
From the fear of being humiliated …
From the fear of being despised…
From the fear of suffering rebukes …
From the fear of being calumniated …
From the fear of being forgotten …
From the fear of being ridiculed …
From the fear of being wronged …
From the fear of being suspected …

That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be esteemed more than I …
That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease …
That others may be chosen and I set aside …
That others may be praised and I unnoticed …
That others may be preferred to me in everything…
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…

Thank you for the resources. I’d like to check out Mother Teresa’s book when I get a chance. The prayer is really nice too. I’ll definitely use that…alone and with my fiance.

Is there anything for a couple? My fiance and I are alike and our pride gets in our way sometimes.
 
a few things that you can do:
  • read the Bible on humility, pride and love.
  • Eucharistic Adoration
  • pray the Rosary
  • visit Nursing Home - the elderly people have a lot to teach us.
