Let your armour be the Lord Jesus Christ

August 28, 2016

“Let your armour be the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop worrying about how your disordered natural inclinations may be fulfilled.”

All of us can put on one of two coverings: either the covering of sinful passions, or the covering of the Lord Jesus Christ. The covering of sinful passions eat away Divine Grace from within our souls, and very soon the infection emits a foul stench. On the other hand, the covering of the Lord Jesus Christ is like a sweet balm for our soul and like an impenetrable armor. Saint Augustine was clothed in Jesus Christ when he read this Gospel passage, and from that moment, sin never had power over him.
