Despair

How does one hinder the graces of the sacraments?

By them, I do mean God and neighbor.

From that description:

"a divinely infused habit, inclining the human will to cherish God for his own sake above all things, and man for the sake of God."

... maybe my memory is poor, but I almost feel like I have never felt it. The use of the word cherish surprises me. I think that because I have started to go to Church and have stopped some of my more grievous sins through the grace of God, then I am moving my will ever so slightly towards the will of God. But cherish in my emotions? I don't know, it's hard to remember emotional states when you're not in them.
