Our Appetite
for Sin
All of the Israelites left Egypt, but in the desert many of
them had second thoughts and wanted to return. In the same way, some resolve to
avoid sin, but they look back at Sodom even while fleeing it. They give up
their sins, but go right on talking about them, desiring them. If you want to
live a devout life, you are not only required to stop sinning but also to lose
your appetite for it.
Saint Francis de Sales
