Knowledge Comes Through The Senses & Avoiding Sin
Knowledge Comes Through The Senses & Avoiding Sin
I have a huge problem [with repeated and habitual sins of impurity]…
First, in addition to prayer, you need to radically cut off the occasion of the sin. If it's your computer or phone or whatever, get rid of it. Knowledge comes through the senses. When you remove things from your eyes and your sight, you will begin to forget about them. If you cut off the occasion of the sin, avoiding the sin will become easier for you. But you need to radically cut off the occasion. That’s what Jesus taught in Mt. 5:30. Also, you need to exercise your will and be resolved to resist the Devil. It's your eternity at stake.
St. Alphonsus (1760): “If you neglect God’s call on this occasion, he may perhaps abandon you forever. Resolve, then, resolve! ‘The devil,’ says St. Theresa, ‘is afraid of resolute souls.’ St. Bernard teaches that many souls are lost through want of fortitude.”
Ecclesiasticus 5:8-9: “Delay not to be converted to the Lord, and defer it not from day to day. For His wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee.”
Second, you have a big problem with pride. If you had the first degree of humility, you wouldn't be committing the mortal sins you are committing. You don’t have the proper fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). That’s a result of pride.
St. Benedict (c. 520): “The first degree of humility, then, is that a man always have the fear of God before his eyes, shunning all forgetfulness and that he be ever mindful of all that God has commanded, that he always considers in his mind how those who despise God will burn in hell for their sins, and that life everlasting is prepared for those who fear God.”
Third, you should be praying 15 decades of the Rosary each day and the Hail Mary frequently. We also recommend that you pray the St. Michael Prayer daily. We also recommend these videos:
