FEBRUARY 17 – SAINT DONATO
“Nothing deserves to be despised more than vice; yet I have in more and more to vice simply in order not to be despised. If I had not sinned enough to rival other sinners, I used to pretend that I had done things I had not done at all, because I was afraid that innocence would be taken for cowardice and chastity for weakness.”
Confessions, II, 3
