Catholic - HABITUAL SIN (Lent Reflections)

Описание: Today's Catholic Lenten reflection highlights the habit of sin. St Alphonsus teaches when sin becomes habit, it seems almost necessary to sin, thus we become a slave to it. St Augustine emphasized that unless sin is resisted it become necessity.

He writes:
Every sin produces blindness; and as sin increases, so does the sinner's blindness increase. That sin which at first struck the sinner with terror, now, through bad habit, no longer causes horror

St. John Chrysostom observes, "Habit is a merciless thing; it forces men, sometimes even against; their will, to the commission of unlawful acts." Yes because, according to St. Augustine, "When no resistance is made to a habit, it becomes a necessity. And, as St. Bernardine adds: "Habit is changed into nature." Hence, as it is necessary for a man to breathe so to habitual sinners, who have made themselves slaves of sin, it appears almost necessary that they must sin.
