Sentences with phrase «what small indulgences»

Not exact matches

This is such a huge subject that I must beg indulgence, therefore, if I give my space to but a small fraction of the historic faith — namely its main emphases on God, Christ, the Church, and eternal life — and consider only these in our modem context, in the effort to discover what values they may have for men and women who are tossed about in an unsettled world, with an uncertain future, and doomed — almost certainly it seems — to a doubtful truce of arms, at worst to a war which threatens to annihilate man as we have known him and in any event to leave us a bare existence such as we can eke out on a totally devastated planet.

Basically, these are all different ways to help you gain control over your indulgences so that you still have small amounts of what you love without going overboard.
