“For sin is our enticement to love” strikes me as a profound observation—though one that’s hard to understand. Perhaps you might elaborate in a future essay?
Ah! Yes, with pleasure. But for now, I will resort to St Paul, who wrote to the church in Rome: "Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." Although humanity has fallen into utter disorder, God responds with infinite grace. And at our level, the suffering that sin causes is an opportunity to respond with compassion and to grow in love.
Thank you for this lovely reflection with its reminder that the answer to the problem of evil is found in the cross.
Yes, I see: not with judgement, let alone condemnation, but with compassion and love. Thank you ☺️
