Yesterday's Word of the Day

Recidivist

(reh-SIH-dih-vihst)

One who habitually commits the same sin and who, despite his claims of sorrow, makes little improvement. Recidivism opposes the virtue of penance, which inclines one to make a break with sin. Recidivists need to be dealt with charitably and firmly and implored to beg God for fortitude and patience so as to bear the temptations they encounter.
