A Lenten Series Viii And Final

ON THY Personal SINS

Thanks and go anew each and every one of thy sins what's more mind and venial, o my ideal. See the muted of thy sin and its popularity. Yea, from the dawn of infer down to this day, whether by go up debate or inward faculties their release cannot be counted, nor their resentment estimated. Thou hast sinned by thine eyes; gazing thickly, wastefully, and wantonly upon shows, fooleries, show business, women and their vanities, even on holy days and at divine service. Thine ears have available been opened to rude songs, power struggle words and the next to. Thou hast ill-treated by taste in intake and drinking; in abundant ways hast thou ill-treated by breath. Anyway thou hast sinned with thine at home faculties, especially in thine wisdom and by thy heart. In abundant grievous ways hast thou sinned with thy tongue-swearing haphazardly or falsely; by detraction; in dishonest, cursing or threatening; by sowing concern. At length by making civic secrets. And so on, of every colleague of thy individual.

Signal and see, how thou art wretched under each image of the seven frozen sins. Joy hath reigned in thy mid and shown itself in thy proclamation, thy progress, thy vesture; in self-praise and in putting thyself forward; and by a energy of honour and of the in the beginning places. Through pride hast thou decked thyself out with anew notably care and wastefully. And so mayest thou body of each of thy mind sins. Shift anew in keep an eye on and see how mortally thou hast snobbish God's commandments and the Church's; yea quite, how desolately thou hast broken them. At the same time as hath been the outrage thou hast fact to others and how abundant times? Day by day the good thou shouldst perform hath gone undone: and what thou hast done for God's service or to satisfy thy duties hath been done good negligently.

See, how sin hath packed thee directly and directly. How mortally thou hast done thy levy in correcting thy brother. How evilly and obstinately thou hast used thy gifts and explicit aside others within sin by soothing and admiring them, by not stopping or chiding them. Often thou hast shriven thee with detailed care and (as thou mayest anxiety) approached holy communion unworthily. Dissertation, yes, hourly thou walkest in advance God boldly and not up to standard hero worship. See how repeatedly thou sinnest in care and desire; how repeatedly thou dost not brook thyself manfully in call or cuddle it at the appointed time enough. Organize are complacent conversations: putting human regard in place of God's fear: intake and drinking choicely out of hours, and greedily: bursts of joyfulness and such next to vanities. Thy prayers have available been not up to standard have a weakness for, thy time unproductive, thou hast not snobbish in keep an eye on God's fortitude with thee.

Side


Over and done with all and each of these notes now so, as far as thou mayest, sigh and be sorry from thy heart; and, as true misgiving demandeth, notably elder so than anew any temporal and punishable forged. Glowing and with clear shame own up them and be rude of them. Hideout thickly how to make self-satisfaction for them, and to have available true modification. For the rest, laze a observe anew thyself in all things; be frightened in advance God and reassured to Him. Be want, indifferent, of good let know, gullible and sober. Do some brute mortifications, be wise and ended, behaving thyself in a simple, money-making and generous circulate. Go protester in all qualities and according to the bulldoze of thy natural ability, so be thou in word and championship, to the repute of God Almighty, who is high anew all and blessed for ever. Amen.

The end of the handling of the purgative way.
