To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Humbled in spirit, the sincere penitent casts himself down at the feet of the priest to testify, by this humble demeanor, that he acknowledges the necessity of eradicating pride, the root of all the enormities which he now deplores. In the minister of God, who sits in the tribunal of penance as his legitimate judge, he venerates the power and person of our Lord Jesus Christ; for in the administration of this, as in that of other sacraments, the priest represents the char- acter and discharges t...he functions of Jesus Christ. Acknowledg- ing himself deserving of the severest chastisements, and implor- ing the pardon of his guilt, the penitent next proceeds to the con- fession of his sins. The great efficacy of penance is, therefore, that it restores us to the favor of God, and unites us to him in the closest bonds of friendship. There is no sin, however grievous, no crime, however enor- mous, or however frequently repeated, which penance does not remit. "If," says the Almighty, by the mouth of his prophet, "the wicked do penance for all his sins, which he hath committed, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment and justice, living he shall live and shall not die; I will not remember all his iniquities which he hath done." , To return to penance, to it belongs, in so special a manner, the efficacy of remitting actual guilt, that without its intervention we can not obtain even hope for pardon.
