Orthodox Quote for May 23
“Let’s be honest—some sins feel good while we are indulging in them. When we are indulging in the sin of gluttony, for example, and eating an entire tub of Haagen-Dazs, it feels great. When later on our conscience smites us (or when we step on the bathroom scales the next day, and it smites us), it doesn’t feel so great, but while we are indulging in this sin, it feels good. The sin of anger is not like this.”
(Fr. Lawrence Farley, ‘No Other Foundation’)
