and the birds and the trees are not evil.
All these are good;
it is evil men who make this evil world.”
St Augustine (354-430)
Father, Doctor of Grace
“Our God, … being good and merciful,
wants us to confess [our sins] in this world,
so that we may not be ashamed
because of them in the next.
So if we confess them them,
He, on His part,
shows Himself to be merciful;
if we acknowledge them,
then He forgives … ”
St Caesarius of Arles (470-543)

“Oh, what peril attaches to sin, wilfully committed!
For it is so difficult for man to bring himself to penance
and without penitence,
guilt remains and will ever remain,
so long as man retains unchanged,
the will to sin,
or is intent upon committing it.”
St Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510)
“Sin is the assassin of the soul.”
St John Vianney (1786-1859)
