Thought for the Day – 13 August – Meditations with Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971)
Lapsing into Sin
“Away then, with all thoughts of discouragement!
Let us ask humbly for forgiveness every time we fall, for God understands our weakness.
Then let us begin again with confidence in God’s grace!
But why, we may ask, does God permit us to fall, time and time again, without giving us the grace to resist?
In such a case, we must accept the mystery of God’s dealings with us.
God often allows us to fall in order to humble us and to make us realise that we are powerless without Him.
Pride is often the cause of our sins and our pride must be curbed.
“God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble” (Cf Is 4:6).
Instead of giving into discouragement, therefore, we should acknowledge our own weakness and pray again to God to help us!”
