Christian Self-Denial

Christian Self-Denial.—"The essential inherence of self-denial in the Christian system, is a doctrine that has faded," or appears to be fading "from the consciousness of the Church." Self-denial "is the distinctive characteristic of Christian activity as opposed to a life of mere nature, or of absolute wickedness. It excludes on the one hand all penances and self-righteousness, and on the other, the love of ease and self-indulgence."
