"Lust served became a custom,chainsbondage and a custom not resisted became necessity."

                                                              -St. Augustine

 

 

For Reflection:

In this quote, St. Augustine gives us keen insight into the bondage of lust. How does it place us in chains? How can I specifically stop serving lust and start serving chastity? (See tomorrow's Grace Line for one suggestion.)

Scripture calls this root cause of our problems "the flesh" or "self-indulgence." For example, St Paul says, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like"  (Galatians 5:19-21, RSV).
