Fr. Peter Heers: "What should be the reaction to my words if you're a slave to these passions? Not to fall into despair, not to fall into judgmentalness, not to reject the words. But if you desire salvation it is to cry out to God and to ask Him to help you to overcome and to be freed of these. And that's the whole point of the Church. Why do you go to church? Why are you in church on Sunday? To become healed, to become free."
