“If then thy sin is so heavy that by thy penitential tears thou canst not thyself wash it out, let the mother Church weep for thee, the multitude standing by; soon shalt thou rise from the dead and begin to speak the words of life…they shall also praise God who has given us such great remedies for escaping death.”
(St. Ambrose)
