Miguel Ángel Fuentes – I Want To! Formation of the Will

250.00

Is it possible to educate a will in which disordered habits
and corrupted vices have grown like weeds? Can we reeducate it when it has gotten off of the right path for
years? Can the will be re-invigorated when it suffers from
a complete failure and is laid out in indolence? It is possible,
always and whenever a work that includes several different
elements is carried out.

We know by faith that our will, just like the other potencies,
has been wounded by original sin; that wound is a
particular weakness in the order of desiring and doing
what is good. Religious practice also has innumerable
means to strengthen the will: the sacraments which give
life, renew, and feed the soul (in particular confession and
reconciliation of the sinner and Eucharistic communion
with the Lord’s Body); the Holy Mass; the life of prayer
and pious practices; the influence of the prayers of other
Christians (the communion of saints), and, in particular,
the intercession of the blessed. There can be no doubt,
then, that the person with serious religious convictions can
count on means that are priceless in value when it comes
to working on their will.
