“In the end, my own works, my own abilities, my own goodness were like the wax wings of Icarus - in the end, they were insufficient. Despite all my efforts to do good, despite all my struggle, despite our every attempt to try and be good without God, we fall short. We fall, and it is in that moment of failure, in that moment where our wax wings are burning and falling away that we realise the great trap of evil. It is in that moment that we realise the sting of sin. Sin whispers in our ear, tells us that all we will ever need is ourselves. It tells us that we are all-sufficient. Yet even this will not be fulfilled in the end. Sin tells us to serve ourselves, but it cannot save us.”
