VII. The Grace of Baptism

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1264

suffering, illness, death, and such frailties inherent in life as weaknesses of
character, and so on, as well as an inclination to sin that Tradition calls
concupiscence, or metaphorically, “the tinder for sin” (fomes
peccati); since concupiscence “is left for us to wrestle with, it cannot
harm those who do not consent but manfully resist it by the grace of Jesus
Christ.”⁶⁶ Indeed, “an athlete is not crowned unless he
competes according to the rules.”⁶⁷
