"There are two kinds of people in the world,
Sinners who think they're saints,
And saints who know they're sinners."
-- Dr. Peter Kreeft

This is the first step to repentance, admitting and recognizing what you are and what you've done. St. Thomas Aquinas knew that and he formed the 12 step program which still is used today to help people with addictions.

We are all addicted to sin and the sooner we recognize our faults we can help to mend the wound. Think about this, in exorcisms the priest gets the name of the demon first before he casts the demon out. The point is this, if we know what we are up against we can cast these things out and we can avoid circumstances that will lead to more sinful activities. I try to categorize my sin, and name them in confession, this way afterwards I can pray to avoid them and defeat them and even loose my passion for them.
So I guess you can ask, what's in a name? Well Moses asked that same question at the burning bush and and God replied "I AM". In the name of Jesus demons are cast out, the penitent is absolved, bread and wine become His body and His blood.

Lord, help us all to know, love, and serve You with all of our heart, mind, body, and soul, so that we may live with You forever in heaven. We ask this in the name of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father, Amen.

God love you
