St. Paul and his own personal struggles

St. Paul to the Romans, he writes to converts about their new life of grace, and to stop living the life of sin. Traditionally, we were taught about grace, there are two of them: sanctifying grace, and actual grace. Sanctifying grace is the indwelling of the Holy Trinity, and actual graces help to enlighten our mind and strengthen our will, so that we know what is right and good and to do what is right and good. In the passage today, Paul wrote about his own struggle with sin. Even though we are now saved in Christ, but it doesn't mean that we are completely free from sin, since we still live in our mortal bodies. But it doesn't mean to give up on trusting in God's mercy, and to persevere and grow in the virtue of fortitude. As long as we remain humble, hope in God, and don't give into despair, don't give into discouragement, and keep persevering and keep trying. I often assure the faithful that when they go to confessions, that the priest doesn't think any less of them, but actually more of them, because we are able to see the Holy Spirit at work in their life, and helping them to grow closer to the Lord Jesus Christ.
