AM DG Christian Discipline “Christian, recognize your dignity and, now that you share in God’s own nature, do not return to your former base condition by sinning.” LIFE IN CHRIST “As long as freedom has not bound itself definitively to its ultimate good which is God, there is the possibility of choosing between good and evil, and thus of growing in perfection or of failing and sinning”

AM DG Christian Discipline “Progress in virtue, knowledge of the good, and ascesis enhance the mastery of the will over its acts.” LIFE IN CHRIST What must we do? Our responsibility – the formation of a Catholic conscience (Fr. Paul Lehman)
