Veritas et Sapientia – Beware lgBtqRSTLNE Sinners in Rejoicing In Your Sin

Mandeville, LA –  “There is something however which I fear still more for you, namely, that which is written of certain sinners, that they rejoice in having done evil and delight in wicked actions [Proverbs ii. 14]; that you should be deceived, and not only think that what you have done is not wrong, but also (which, God forbid) glory in your heart, thinking that you have done some- thing great, and which is usually done by few, in renouncing voluntarily the power to command others, and, despising rule, have preferred to be subjected again to a ruler. That would be a false humility, causing real pride in the heart of him that should think such thoughts. For what can be more proud than to ascribe to spontaneous and, as it were, free choice that which the force of necessity or faint-hearted weakness obliges us to do ? But if you have not been forced by necessity or exhausted by labour, but have done it willingly, there is nothing more proud than this ; for you have put your own will before that of God, you have chosen to taste the sweetness of repose rather than serve diligently in the work to which He has set you. If, then, you have not only despised God, but glory in utterly contemning Him, your glorying is not good. Beware of boastfulness and self-satisfaction ; more useful for you were it to be always in care, always humbly trembling, not, as I have said, with the fear that provokes wrath, but with that which softens it.”  – St Bernard of Clairvaux, Epistle (letter) 87
