Be A Sinner And Sin

For It Is A Horrible Blasphemy To Imagine That There Is Any Work By Which You Should Presume To Pacify God, Since You See That There Is Nothing Which Is Able To Pacify Him But This Inestimable Price, Even The Death And The Blood Of The Son Of God, One Drop Of Which Is More Precious Than The Whole World.

God Is Entirely And Personally Present In The Wilderness, In The Garden, In The Field.

Remove Christ From The Scriptures And There Is Nothing Left.

Our Most Merciful Father, Seeing Us To Be Oppressed And Overwhelmed With The Curse Of The Law . . . Sent His Only Son Into The World And Laid Upon Him All The Sins Of All Men, Saying, 'you Be Peter That Denier, Paul That Persecutor, Blasphemer And Cruel Oppressor, David That Adulterer, That Sinner Who Ate The Apple In Paradise, That Thief Who Hung Upon The Cross, And Briefly, You Be The Person Who Has Committed The Sins Of All Men. See Therefore That You Pay And Satisfy For Them.'

Whenever The Devil Harasses You, Seek The Company Of Men Or Drink More, Or Joke And Talk Nonsense, Or Do Some Other Merry Thing. Sometimes We Must Drink More, Sport, Recreate Ourselves, And Even Sin A Little To Spite The Devil, So That We Leave Him No Place For Troubling Our Consciences With Trifles. We Are Conquered If We Try Too Conscientiously Not To Sin At All. So When The Devil Says To You: Do Not Drink, Answer Him: I Will Drink, And Right Freely, Just Because You Tell Me Not To.
