We find it difficult to admit when we’re wrong, when we’ve sinned. And it seems the more we try to live good Christian lives, the harder it gets to acknowledge how often we fail.

December 26: Violence is Conquered by Love http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/122616.cfm
Readings: Acts 6:8–10; 7:54–59; Matthew 10:17–22
