ON SIN





"Thought how maddening it is that the worst sins are the most enjoyable. I wondered could it possibly be that these sins would recoil upon me in my old age. For at present they don't seem to do my soul much harm. And the lusts of the flesh, instead of alienating me from God, seem to draw me closer to him in a perverse way. He on the other hand may not be drawn to me. Yet I feel He ought to know how to shake me off if He wants to. Can't be that he is too polite."

J L-M. Diary 10 December 1943
