“In the deceitfulness of our hearts, we sometimes play with temptation by entertaining the thought that we can always confess and later ask forgiveness. Such thinking is exceedingly dangerous.

The subtlety of Satan appears in its height, in his managing persons with respect to this sin.

Experience gives vast advantage in leading souls, either in good or evil.”
