Episode 9 -- Spiritual Combat c5 -- Our cowardice after sin is not a virtue
Why is my cowardice and anxiety after sinning not a virtue?
In our last episode, we talked about a method for determining whether we trust ourselves or trust in God. The method is to examine our reactions after we sin.
Are we surprised that we sinned?
Do we feel despair?
Do I rush off to confession just to get rid of the bad feeling and the wounded self-love?
Or
Do I attribute the fall to my weakness and lack of trust in God?
Do I detest the sin above all things as an offence against God?
Do I go to confession to be washed from the sin?
Do I go to Holy Communion to guard myself from a relapse?
In this episode, Fr Scupoli teaches us another little way that we deceive ourselves. We consider our cowardice, our lack of courage, after a fall as something good.
