Magnificent Magnificat Excerpt - St. Maximillian Kolbe
...the phrase "I am not able to correct myself" [is], in reality, only concealed pride. Why? Because people often admit they have the ability to do some things, but then they say they cannot repress a given fault, avoid a given circumstance. This only proves that they only count on their own strength to master their lives. But this is a false concept, since with our sole strength, just by ourselves, without God's help, we can do nothing, absolutely nothing (Jn 15:5)...In fact, we exist because God is giving and supporting our existence at every moment.
