The old man, alas, yet lives within me. He has not yet been entirely crucified; he is not yet entirely dead. He still lusts strongly against the spirit, and he will not leave the kingdom of my soul in peace. But You, Who can command the power of the sea and calm the tumult of its waves, arise and help me.
–Thomas à Kempis
Amen. God help me to crucify my sinful thoughts, attitudes, actions, and words.
