It is all the rest who are abnormal. We are all abnormal, for we have departed from God's norms. The Lord, after all, created man sinless, immortal, pure, holy, wise. We have perverted them. And now there acts in all of us passions that compel us to do things that are sinful.
Passion is a great and terrible power.
We repent of our sins, but it is shameful to confess the same sins over and over again, our whole life long. It will, if we seriously undertake to war against our passions. There is nothing more important than this. A true physician, a good psychologist, and especially a spiritual father, if they look at our face, can immediately identify the passion that principally affects us. Similarly, each of us must come to know his chief passion.
