Men have not enough horror for sin, and when they commit it, they have not sufficient courage to do penance for it as they should. They hope, and they say: " When I get sick, I will go to confession. I will make a good act of contrition, and secure my salvation that way. " No, no! Illusion! Our Lord has promised to come to us like a thief. He will laugh at us, and frustrate all our plans.
--St. Peter Julian Eymard
