A small word from Charles de Condren:
>Eschew, as though it were a hell the consideration of yourself and your offences. No one should ever think of these things except to humiliate himself and love Our Lord. It is enough to regard yourself in general as a sinner, even as there are many saints in heaven who were such.
And Archbishop Fénelon:
>Discouragement serves no possible purpose; it is simple the despair of WOUNDED SELF LOVE.
(emphasis supplied)
Fénelon continues:
>The real way of profiting by the humiliation of one's own faults is to face them in their true hideousness, WITHOUT CEASING TO HOPE IN GOD, WHILE HOPING NOTHING FROM ONESELF.
(emphasis again supplied)
In short anon, you have nothing to fear except wallowing in your misery. Place trust in God and work towards salvation. You can only gain by trying.
