St. John Chrystostom said that the church is not a courtroom for souls but a hospital for sinners. Sin is a chronic condition, a propensity not to love. We confess our sins as an act of spiritual honesty, not as criminals waiting to be condemned but as patients seeking to be healed.

Many people find that they lack the resolve or the willpower to maintain a spiritual practice. Rather than seeing it as an exhausting discipline, however, we can view any spiritual practice as an act of surrender. If we stop seeing spiritual practice as a battle we have to win but as something that we simply need to give into, it can help us sustain that practice over the course of time.
