How extraordinary it is that one feels most guilt about the sins one is unable to commit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Remorse is the pain of sin.
There are absolutely almost perfect people who experience no guilt; they don't know what it is. They simply do what they need to do - or want to do - next. They see nothing wrong with it. They feel no guilt. They express no guilt. And it's not even certain what harm they do.
Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces.
Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.
I have been a man of great sins, but He has been a God of great mercies; and now, through His mercies, I have a conscience as sound and quiet as if I had never sinned.
Guilt is feeling bad about what you have done; shame is feeling bad about who you are - all it is, is muddling up things you have done with who you are.
Guilt is a weird thing to me. I don't have a lot of it.
It's no sin to admit that you feel vulnerable and lost.
It is much easier to repent of sins that we have committed than to repent of those that we intend to commit.
I really believe guilt finds its way out of a person.
