Video Meliora, proboque; Deteriora sequor

Interesting comment from Steve Ray's board: "All sins are highly subjective and as St. Paul says, we are poor judges of even our own sins, let alone the sins of others." I've always simultaneously liked & cringed at the idea that Padre Pio, soon to be St. Pio, was able to point out unconfessed sins in the confessional - it's our own blindness that somehow most defeats us and most comforts us. Defeats us in that it prevents us from holiness, comforts us in that we cling to our blindness and sins for fear of suffering.
