"By putting on the Christian life, the new way of living, the soul is clothed with a wedding garment, the white robe of grace. The things of the flesh are not done away with, but they should now be dominated and controlled by the spirit. Here then is the secret of this new life, this sanctification through Christ; to one who is faithful there is given sufficient strength to overcome, to dominate and to conquer those things that are of the flesh and sin. It is grace alone that can do this great work, not by our own power, but by that power given us by Christ." --FATHER DESMOND MURRAY, O.P.
