Crowd Out Sin
November 07th, 2023 by G.
one does not drive sin out of his life; he crowds it out with love of God and neighbor. Our lives do not then depend on the principle of avoiding sin, which is a tiresome job, but on living constantly in the climate of Divine Love.
— Fulton Sheen
Amen. For me the principle discovery of our work with virtue sets was the difference between sin avoidance and holiness seeking. Not away from, but towards.

Screwtape Letter #20:
“For as things are, your man has now discovered the dangerous truth that these attacks don’t last forever; consequently you cannot use again what is, after all, our best weapon—the belief of ignorant humans, that there is no hope of getting rid of us except by yielding.”
