Victory Over Vice
As a Christian, I am supposed to be battling Sin with utmost vigilance. However, as time goes by and especially after several spectacular victories, I began to slacken and laid down the heavy weaponry of prayer and fasting, thinking that the Enemy is defeated and my spiritual fort impregnable. I was wrong.
But God was merciful and led me to read Archbishop Fulton Sheen's penetrating book Victory Over Vice. I was shocked to discover that my sense of sin was severely numbed by spiritual leprosy! True, I didn't commit murder nor adultery but to God, sin is not merely an external act but encompasses internal thoughts too; it is not only the violation of His laws but also the neglect of good works.
