Fifth:
The last enemy is insensitivity regarding the affairs of God
and of
our neighbor. This vice causes the insensitive man to feel no
love
or attraction for what concerns his salvation... We certainly go
to
church to pray, sing, say Mass, and perform the other liturgical
functions, but all these functions are performed without feeling,
tastelessly, and without devotion... Insensitivity also causes us to
be unmoved by the physical and
spiritual miseries of our neighbor;
we lack charity and zeal and
don’t sense offenses against God. (22
August 1659; SV XII, 260-261)
