Sunday Sermon

The children of God dread nothing more than offending him by a mortal sin; the bare remembrance of their past sins makes them weep and lament. The children of the world have very little fear of sin; they commit it without the least scruple, for the sake of some miserable thing, and they rejoice about it afterwards, as the Holy Scripture says: “They are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in the most wicked things” (Prov. 2: 14). Nay, there are some who go so far as to boast of their sins and exult in them. But He who rejoices at and boasts of his sins, is the most shameless sinner of all.
