Defeating Persistent Personal Sin

[bravobevo]

Recently in response to a difficulties that my friend has been going through, I shared some ideas with him that helped to pull my own thoughts together. The issue is how to deal with a sin in one's life that won't stay conquered when a temptation keeps reappearing.   I'll speak as to myself, but see whether or not it also applies to you.

I just read your response that you gave to my time of kerfuffle with some friends that I posted about over in ljcatholics. Regarding the ACTS prayer method, I am very familiar with it. I've actually taught it to various bible study groups in the past, but a reminder is always appreciated, so thanks.

Regarding this post here, are you familiar with Don Lorenzo Scupoli's "The Spiritual Combat"? Hits right to the heart of what you're saying here. If you're not familiar, I would recommend it highly.

Beautiful, thank you for reminding me of this wonderful opportunity we have available in every circumstance.
