Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Life of St. Mary Magdalene, or the Path of Penitence
Prefer the things Of sense and the gratifi cation Of passion. Perhaps there never was a day when there was more danger Of false hopes, whose bas1s 1s self-love rather than the promise Of Christ. So, instead Of finding the fragrance Of inno cence, we scarcely find the fervor Of peni tence. Many live on, either neglecting their duties, or perfunctorily discharging them, and at last when the Bridegroom calls, they find that He knows them not. Not every one that saith unto me Lord Lord, shall enter into the kingdom Of heaven; but he that doeth the will Of my father who is in heaven. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way which leadeth to life, and few there are who find it l A day Of great sin ought to be a day Of great penitence, and in truth the examples of sincere piety which here and there cheer the heart Of the pilgrim, are.

Excerpt from The Life of St. Mary Magdalene, or the Path of Penitence
IN the unhappy times in which we live there are very few who preserve their baptismal innocence.
