Father Pete's Blog

"How little Love of God you have when you yield without a fight because it is not a grave sin!"

"Venial sins do great harm to the soul. — Therefore God says in the Song of Songs: 'Catch the little foxes that make havoc of the vineyards'."

"How sad you make me feel when you are not sorry for your venial sins! For, until you are, you will not begin to live real interior life."

"You are lukewarm if you carry out lazily and reluctantly those things that have to do with our Lord; if deliberately or 'shrewdly' you look for some way of cutting down your duties; if you think only of yourself and of your comfort; if your conversations are idle and vain; if you do not abhor venial sin; if you act from human motives."  St. JoseMaria Escriva

 
"Stages: to be resigned to the will of God; to conform to the will of God, to want the will of God; to love the will of God."
 
"Don't forget, my son, that for you on earth there is but one evil, which you must fear and avoid with the grace of God: sin." St. Jose Maria Escriva
 
"There is nothing better in the world than to be in the grace of God."  St. Jose Maria Escriva

Written by St. Jose Maria Escriva
