An excerpt from
CHAPTER TWO: TWO SUBTLE ENEMIES OF HOLINESS
CONTEMPORARY PELAGIANISM
48. The same power that the gnostics attributed to the intellect, others now began to attribute to the human will, to personal effort. This was the case with the pelagians and semi-pelagians. Now it was not intelligence that took the place of mystery and grace, but our human will. It was forgotten that everything “depends not on human will or exertion, but on God who shows mercy” (Rom9:16) and that “he first loved us” (cf. 1 Jn4:19).
Every Christian is challenged, here and now, to be actively engaged in evangelization
; indeed, anyone who has truly experienced God's saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love.
Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in you.
