This penetrating spiritual work by Cardinal Henry Edward Manning examines the nature of sin and its devastating effects upon the soul. With clarity and pastoral wisdom, Cardinal Manning explains how even seemingly small sins weaken our relationship with God, how venial sins can lead to more serious offenses, and how neglecting good can open the door to greater moral failings. At the same time, he points readers toward the hope of repentance, penance, and God's healing grace.
