O Sacrament of piety! O sign of
unity! O bond of charity! Whose
would live, hath where to live, hath whereof
to life. Let him come, let him believe:
let him be incorporated, that he may be
quickened.
St. Augustine
I.
Christian maturity requires that we ask whether we are more motivated by gratitude for God’s mercy or by a futile attempt to earn it.
