The first one is that you - and Archbishop Sheen (whose talks I love) - should be careful about saying Catholics are more loving than other Christians. You can't know that, and it harms the heart to think along such lines. Secondly, I think guilt may be the wrong word to use for what you are talking about. You are speaking of the how the Holy Spirit shows us where we sin, and causes our heart pain to realize how we have 'grieved the Spirit'. For me, there seems only a moment when I feel guilty; already Jesus has gone ahead of me and His grace takes my guilt away. This isn't through some salvation theory I've been taught, it is straight from His eyes that gaze in love at me. So what I'm saying is that what is enduring is an ever more tender conscience, not a sense of guilt. That is always momentary, for "He is greater than our hearts".John Radicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828307156919543065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011391723338869451.post-73682670887849112812012-02-01T11:15:26.611+00:002012-02-01T11:15:26.611+00:00Can't wait to be allowed to do confession.Can't wait to be allowed to do confession.Stuart Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198939874801282568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011391723338869451.post-33391557052503567362012-02-01T09:21:18.186+00:002012-02-01T09:21:18.186+00:00Good post.

The rest of us may feel it more, but talk about it less, and go to confession.Ben Trovatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15299230935468606845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011391723338869451.post-51133252803919633062012-02-01T06:44:38.154+00:002012-02-01T06:44:38.154+00:00Stuart, you're too kind!
