    Prayer   Broken   Grace  
    Willa Cather (2011). “Death Comes for the Archbishop”, p.146, Vintage
  • We should all realize that no matter where or how a man dies, if he is in the state of mortal sin and does not repent, when he could have done so and did not, the Devil tears his soul from his body with such anguish and distress that only a person who has experienced it can appreciate it.

    Men   Appreciate   Soul  
    Saint Francis (of Assisi) (1964). “Writings”

  • And when children begin to use their reason, fathers and mothers should take great pains to fill their hearts with the fear of God. This the good Queen Blanche did most earnestly by St. Louis, her son: witness her oft-repeated words, "My son, I would sooner see you die than guilty of a mortal sin;" words which sank so deeply into the saintly monarch's heart, that he himself said there was no day on which they did not recur to his mind, and strengthen him in treading God's ways.

    Sex   Children   Order

    Sin   Ends   Mortal Sin  
    Thomas Aquinas (2003). “On Evil”, p.273, Oxford University Press

    Men   Order   Soul  
    Don Cattaneo Marabotto, St. Catherine of Genoa (2015). “The Spiritual Doctrine of St. Catherine of Genoa”, p.39, TAN Books
  • While the soul is in mortal sin, nothing can profit it; none of its good works merit an eternal reward, since they do not proceed from God as their first principle, and by Him alone is our virtue real virtue.

    Real   Soul   Principles  
    St. Teresa of Avila (2014). “The Interior Castle (Annotated Edition)”, p.31, Jazzybee Verlag
  • Charity is not a potency of the soul, because if it were it would be natural. Nor is it a passion, because it is not in a sensitive potency in which are all passions. Nor is it a habit, because a habit is removed with difficulty; charity, however, is easily lost through one act of mortal sin. Therefore charity is not something created in the soul.

    Passion   Soul   Would Be  
  • For I realize today that it is a mortal sin to violate the great laws of nature. We should not hurry, we should not be impatient, but we should confidently obey the eternal rhythm.

    Law   Today   Sin  
    Nikos Kazantzakis, Carl Wildman (1953). “Zorba the Greek”, p.121, Simon and Schuster
  • Oh! Could you but see the beauty of a soul in the grace of God, you would be so much enamored of it that you would do nothing else but ask souls of God; and, on the contrary, could a soul in mortal sin be placed before your eyes, you would do nothing but weep, and you would hate sin more than the devil himself, and always pray for the conversion of sinners.

    Hate   Eye   Grace  
  • Although the sinner does not believe in Hell, he shall nevertheless go there if he has the misfortune to die in mortal sin.

    Believe   Doe   Sin

  • I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.

    Love   Lying   Believe  
  • Thank and glorify His Beloved Son, who, with indescribable suffering, gave His life on Calvary's cross to pay the debt of mortal sin. He it was who, through His atoning sacrifice, broke the bonds of death and with godly power rose triumphant from the tomb. He is our Redeemer, the Redeemer of all mankind. He is the Savior of the world. He is the Son of God, the Author of our salvation.

    Son   Godly   Sacrifice  
  • Meditate on the horrors of Hell, which will last for eternity because of one easily-committed mortal sin. Try hard to be among the few who are chosen. Think of the eternal flames of Hell, and how few there are that are saved.

  • Without sanctifying grace it is not possible to refrain long from mortal sin.

    Long   Grace   Sin  
  • Half-instructed confessors have done my soul great harm; for I could not always have such learned ones as I would have desired. They certainly did not wish to deceive me, but the fact was that they knew no better. Of something which was a venial sin, they said it was no sin, and out of a very grave mortal sin they made a venial sin. This has done me such harm, that my speaking here of so great an evil, as a warning to others, will be readily understood.

    Evil   Soul   Wish

    Ikea   Waste   Sin  
  • When you see a condemned man on his way to the gallows, it moves you to pity. If you could do something to free him, you would do it. Well, brothers and sisters, when I see a person in mortal sin, I see someone drawing nearer with every step to the gallows of hell. And seeing him in this unhappy state, I happen to know the way to free him: that he be converted to God, ask God's pardon, and make a good confession. Woe betide me if he does not.

  • Never use an adverb to modify the verb 'said' . . . he admonished gravely. To use an adverb this way (or almost any way) is a mortal sin. The writer is now exposing himself in earnest, using a word that distracts and can interrupt the rhythm of the exchange.

    Writing   Verbs   Use  
    "Elmore Leonard's rules for writer" by Elmore Leonard, www.theguardian.com. February 24, 2010.
  • The cumulative weight of all mortal sins--past, present, and future--pressed upon that perfect, sinless, and sensitive Soul! All our infirmities and sicknesses were somehow, too, a part of the awful arithmetic of the Atonement. (See Alma 7:11-12; Isa. 53:3-5; Matt. 8:17.) The anguished Jesus not only pled with the Father that the hour and cup might pass from Him, but with this relevant citation. 'And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me.' (Mark 14:35-36.)

    Jesus   Father   Past  
  • Saint Teresa, as the Roman Rota attests, never fell into any mortal sin; but still Our Lord showed her the place prepared for her in Hell; not because she deserved Hell, but because, had she not risen from the state of lukewarmness in which she lived, she would in the end have lost the grace of God and been damned.

    Grace   Saint   Sin  
  • I once heard a spiritual man say that he was not so much astonished at the things done by a soul in mortal sin as at the things not done by it. May God, in his mercy, deliver us from such great evil, for there is nothing in the whole of our lives that so thoroughly deserves to be called evil as this, since it brings endless and eternal evils in its train.

    Spiritual   Men   Evil  
    Teresa of Avila (2013). “The Interior Castle”, p.16, Lulu.com
  • the only mortal sin is giving up.

    Giving Up   Sin   Mortals  
    Stephen King (2016). “Skeleton Crew”, p.428, Simon and Schuster
  • The state of grace is nothing other than purity, and it gives heaven to those who clothe themselves in it. Holiness, therefore, is simply the state of grace purified, illuminated, beautified by the most perfect purity, exempt not only from mortal sin but also from the smallest faults; purity will make saints of you! Everything lies in this!
