When we look inside, what do we see? We might see ourselves or one or another step down the staircase from innocence to radical evil: (1) anxiety; (2) unfaith; (3) pride; (4) concupiscence; (5) self-justification and scapegoating; (6) cruelty; and (7) blasphemy. What would our lives look like if we embrace the faith Jesus advises, namely, trusting in God?
