Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Consid�rations sur Divers Points de la Morale Chr�tienne, Vol. 2
Pour se former une id�e juste et pr�cise de la p�ni tence il faut la consid�rer dans ses diff�rents �tats et distinguer la vertu de p�nitence, du_sacrement de p�ni tence; l'esprit ou l'habitude de la p�nitence 'de l'acte de la p�nitence. Quand, touch� de la vue de ses fautes, l'homme en con�oit un vif regret et prend la r�solution de s'en punir, il poss�de la vertu de p�nitence. Quand ensuite mu par ce sentiment, il vient aux pieds du pr�tre confesser ses p�ch�s et en recevoir l'absolution, il re�oit le sacrement de p�nitence. La vertu tire sa force de la bont� divine qui a promis le pardon au repentir le sacrement re�oit son efficacit� de l'institution de J �sus Christ qui a conf�r� � ses ministres le grand pouvoir de remettre les p�ch�s.
