“Sin is followed by shame. Repentance is followed by boldness.” ActionSinCourageForgiveness Author:John Chrysostom
“And this is the way of sin. For before one commits a sin, it makes the one it has captured drunk. But when its purpose is fulfilled and it is committed, then its pleasure vanishes and is extinguished; the sinner then stands naked and condemned, and his conscience plays he role of the public executioner. Tearing into pieces the one who has sinned, it demands the most extreme punishment, weighing him down more heavily than all the lead in the world.” FaithSinChristianityConscience Book:Letters to Saint Olympia Source: Letters to Saint Olympia
