Legal Commentary

Sunlight and Shadows

From The Anchoress:

If we look at ourselves of microcosms of dark and light - little versions of this big battle - we see it within ourselves. Where there is holiness, evil is always right there, on the periphery, pushing, and too often prevailing. But conversely, if we are decrying our own hearts- of-darkness and the ways that glamorous evil has enticed us, it is urgently necessary to remember that it goes both ways, that the light - and holiness - are also right there, on the periphery, being offered. We need only grab hold of the Rock of Faith and then let ourselves be formed and trained with the weapons of holiness - prayer, contemplation, humility and openness - that the gates of hell may not prevail.

It's why we read her.
