James K.A. Smith Quote
According to Maximus the Confessor in One Hundred Chapters of Love, the key to directing and increasing one's desire for God is the acquisition of the virtues-which, you'll recall, we described above as noncognitive dispositions acquired through practices. So how does one acquire such virtues, such dispositions of desire? Through participation in concrete Christian practices like confession.
