As I continued on my way, ranting in my mind, I remembered that I had accidentally pulled a similar stunt a few days before and received some pretty nasty looks. When I was at fault I was quick to forgive myself for my mistake and I self-righteously prayed for those drivers who were making a big deal out of an accident. However, when the man in the black truck was at fault, and I was the one “put out”, the forgiveness didn’t come quite as quickly.
– “My dearest son, my first instruction is that you should love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your strength. Without this there is no salvation. Keep yourself, my son, from everything that you know displeases God, that is to say, from every mortal sin. You should permit yourself to be tormented by every kind of martyrdom before you would allow yourself to commit a mortal sin.”
– From a spiritual testament to his son by Saint Louis
