“Significantly, when speaking of ‘the works of the flesh’ Paul mentions not only ‘immorality [fornication], impurity, licentiousness […], drunkenness, carousing’—all of which objectively speaking are connected with the flesh; he also names other sins which we do not usually put in the ‘carnal’ or ‘sexual’ category—‘idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, envy’ […]. All these sins are the outcome of ‘life according to the flesh’, which is the opposite to ‘life according to the spirit’ ”

- (John Paul II, Address, 7 January 1981)
"To condescend to the humblest duties, and to devote oneself to the lowliest service is an exercise of humility: for thus one is able to heal the disease of pride and human glory."
