Wisdom from Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C.

 
 
 

Obviously one cannot be a penitent unless one thinks she has some reason for doing penance. I think if there is a particular lacuna in the philosophy of our times, if I may use such an over-simplification, it is the loss of the consciousness of sin.

—Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C.

from her book, A Time of Renewal: Daily Reflections for the Lenten Season
