Quotations
On Absolution
|
- No man
taketh away sins (which
the law, though holy, just and good, could not take away), but He in
whom
there is no sin.—Bede.
- He
alone
can remit sins who
is appointed our Master by the Father of all; He only is able to
discern
obedience from disobedience.—St. Clement of Alexandria.
- It is
not
the ambassador, it
is not the messenger, but the Lord Himself that saveth His people. The
Lord remaineth alone, for no man can be partner with God in forgiving
sins;
this office belongs solely to Christ, who taketh away the sins of the
world.—St.
Ambrose.
|
- It
appertaineth to the true
God alone to be able to loose men from their sins.—St. Cyril.
- Neither
angel, nor archangel,
nor yet even the Lord Himself (who alone can say "I am with you"), can,
when we have sinned, release us, unless we bring repentance with
us.—St.
Ambrose.
