Conversion from mediocrity to a full surrender is no easier than the conversion from sin to charity;10/13/2018 in either case, there is a plucking out of an eye and the cutting off of an arm. It seems to the convert that he is asked to give up more than everything-even the control of over his whole life...this is because he does not understand the freedom and joy of the union with God. Pleasures of the flesh are always greater in anticipation than in realization, but the joys of the spirit are always greater in realization than in anticipation!
Bishop Fulton Sheen
