Indeed, pray for a hatred of sin, for a fear of being lost in its darkness.

Yes, pray for a hatred of sin. Pray for shock at its darkness. Pray for an inability to accustom yourself to its lifeless shadows.

Jesus light of the world, please help me to fear and detest the darkness[of sin].

Good way to put it. We most certainly need to pray for a complete hatred of sin.

Through the media, and changing social mores, we've sadly become accustomed to more and more sinful things, while considering the things of God, His Laws, and a life of prayer to be outdated. I think it was Bishop Sheen who said that we as a society have lost a sense of sin...

That was a really good post. Thanks, and God bless you!
