He also cites private revelations in which certain children are said to have gone to hell after committing their first sin. <BR/><BR/>I don't know whether any of this is literally true or not; but it is certain that since we never know when we're going to die, it is the height of folly to take a chance of being caught dead in a state of mortal sin. And that, of course, is St. Alphonsus' whole point.Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-33973408194183085872008-07-14T09:52:00.000-07:002008-07-14T09:52:00.000-07:00yikes. its something i have been pondering of late...yikes. its something i have been pondering of late. the scary thing is can one ever make reparation enough for past sins.Smileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458504641419416339noreply@blogger.com
