“Our self-will is so subtle, so deeply rooted within us, so covered with excuses and defended by false reasoning, that it seems to be a demon. When we cannot do our own will in one way, we do it in another, under all kinds of pretext.”

                                        – St. Catherine of Genoa

For Reflection: 

What might I currently be covering with excuses, false reasoning or pretext so that I might have my way? (Hint: It could be something which others have confronted me about or an area of discord within the family.)
