"The worst danger for a wounded foot is that it no longer hurts, because it means that blood is not circulating anymore and gangrene will set in. The most terrible and dreadful evil for a sinful soul is that she no longer feels remorse for having sinned. If she doesn’t feel it, she will be hopelessly lost. But if her conscience pricks her and she listens to her conscience, she still has hope of amendment and salvation."
Saint Augustine quoted in the book "The Spiritual Combat" by Father Lorenzo Scupoli.
