Trapped in the darkness of sin

Sep 17, 2019 | 17:56
in Spirituality
The Lord is waiting

The more modest a person is, the happier he is because he does not have to take care of many things, such as slaves, farmers, and animals.

When we focus on our possessions and we have to face the difficulties that follow, we put the blame on God. Due to our insatiable desire for wealth, we are heading towards death.

So, we remain trapped in the darkness of sin without being able to recognise ourselves.

Saint Anthony the Great
