A good Catholic should have this exact sentiment. Even though we know we will fall, we should never be determined to do so.

I was just thinking about her. I was thinking of a movie made in France. A Nun who gave her a hard time had someone read from Therese Lisieux life She read, when the bell rang she put the Child JESUS down and left. When the Nun asked the class what would they do, no one answered, so she asked St. Bernadette. And I loved her answer! She said, I would take the Child with me. A baby can't weigh that much. What a beautiful answer she gave to that Nun.
