  • Quote

    All therefore is well, and there is no need of vacuity and depression of soul over the littleness of our amendment if we are corresponding with grace, and thus gradually forming and fashioning Christ within us.

  • Quote

    Since it is likely that, being men, they would sin every day, St. Paul consoles his hearers by saying ‘renew yourselves’ from day to day. This is what we do with houses: we keep constantly repairing them as they wear old. You should do the same thing to yourself. Have you sinned today? Have you made your soul old? Do not despair, do not despond, but renew your soul by repentance, and tears, and Confession, and by doing good things. And never cease doing this.
