Quote/s of the Day on Confession – 25 October
“The confession of evil works,
is the first beginning of good works.
You do the truth
and come to the light.”
St Augustine (354-430) Doctor & Father of the Church
“A man is repaired in an instant by Divine grace.”
“One who has confessed and received absolution,
will be less punished in Purgatory than one
who has gone no further than contrition.”
St Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) Doctor of the Church
“Are you scorched, are you burnt to the very core,
by the heat of concupiscence? Even so, poor sufferers!
You must not lose courage; there is a cool fountain
ready to refresh you and heal all your wounds;
not indeed the first font, which gave you the life you have lost;
but the second Baptism, the divine Sacrament of Penance,
which can restore you to grace and purity!”
Prosper Louis Pascal Guéranger O.S.B. (1805-1875)
“Confession is stronger than an exorcism!”
Fr Gabriele Amorth, SSP (1925-2016) – Chief Exorcist/Rome
