Reflection

 

My sins, Lord, are dulling my conscience.
I get used to evil very quickly:
A little self-indulgence here,
A small unfaithfulness there,
An unwise action farther on,
And my vision becomes obscured;
I no longer see stumbling-blocks,

I no longer see other people on my road.
Lord, I beseech you, keep me young in my efforts,
Spare the bondage of habit, which lulls to sleep and kills.

 

(Michael Quoist)
