Sin is present in the human history. Any attempt to ignore it or to give it other names would be futile. One may be tempted to explain 'sin' as merely a developmental or psychological weakness or mistake. 'Sin' is an abuse of the freedom that God gives to created persons so that they are capable of loving. The revelation of Divine Love in Christ manifested at the same time the extent of evil and the superabundance of grace. No disorder stems from the nature of man and woman, nor from the nature of their relations, but from sin. As a break with God, sin brings the rupture of the communion between persons. Their relationships get distorted. Their attractions, the Creator's own gift, change into relationships of domination and lust.
(Ref. CCC 385,1607)
Prayer :
Lord of the whole Universe,
help me to relate in grace and not in sin.
May my relationships be harmonious being free from domination and lust.
help me to relate in grace and not in sin.
May my relationships be harmonious being free from domination and lust.
