Very interesting. One thing comes to mind. In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus said to Peter, James and John, "pray so that you do not fall into temptation". We might have all the good will in the world to behave and think in a Christian way, but as St. Paul says we don't always do what we want to do, and so it is necessary to pray which for the grace not to sin/fall. And then if we do fall, we have the sacraments to be reconciled and to get further grace to persevere, so we always have hope, no matter what, because we believe and because our hearts are on fire to be one with God.
