Our ability to do good is paralyzed if we do not deny ourselves. Praying is a great example of self-denial. Our sensual nature is opposed to prayer – it does not please the softness of the body.

Unless we mortify our senses and evil inclinations, we become incapable of good. Saints achieved such great heights of virtue due to severe mortifications they practiced. By doing this, they removed all obstacles to the working of the grace of God within them.

We must have a holy detestation of this world and prove our love of God by putting aside the world and turning our hearts to Him.

Join us on this episode of In Veritate.
