In this episode of the Aim Higher Podcast, Father Anthony and Sister Catherine discuss the sins against hope, which are presumption and despair. They begin by defining presumption, which manifests as an unrealistic confidence in one’s own abilities or a mistaken belief that one can achieve salvation without the necessary effort or grace from God. Then they address despair, emphasizing its profound impact on the soul. Despair is a loss of trust in God’s goodness and mercy, which can create a heavy burden of hopelessness. Together, Father Anthony and Sister Catherine offer listeners a deep understanding of these two sins, illustrating their relevance in today’s world. They also provide practical advice on how to recognize and overcome presumption and despair, fortifying listeners to embrace a resilient journey towards God.
