Father John: "By roots of sin I mean the deep down stuff from which bubble up the hopefully small sins that you and I confess in the confessional. They're like pimples on the face, small things, not very important you might say, but a pimple is there because of a poison in the blood and the roots of sin are those deep down poisons, things which could under other circumstances be lethal, could enable us to crucify Christ and to damn ourselves. Now the first of these roots is fundamental to all sin, whether it is a big sin or a small sin. And notice this, a sin is serious not because it feels serious (feelings can be a very bad guide), a sin is serious if it is serious." The roots of sin: (i) Self-Will / Pride (ii) Moral Cowardice (iii) Blindness (iv) Not trusting God. Music by Crossbeam: Yours God. Visit Totus2us.com for much more.
