"Our Holy Mother the Church here reminds the Just that it is only by a perseverance in the pathways of religion, and by partaking of the refreshing fountains of the sacraments, that they can hope to attain to that crown of immortality to which they aspire—:To the avaricious she exhibits treasures, surpassing all the riches of the Nations of the earth—: To the sensual she displays pleasures beyond the power of human imagination to conceive — To the describe she exposes the deformity of bis degrading passions, and points to a love more pure than earthly hopes could promise."
