St.Padre Pio says that vainglory is a tough sin to overcome because there is no opposite virtue that can defeat it because there is no opposite virtue for it. Vainglory can be found in the religious because it feeds on the more good works you do and how excellent you are for doing it. Simpleness and humilty may be the best response but even humility can be done with vainglory. Below is a very good link writen by St.John Climacus on vainglory, pride and more.
