Exhortation:
This Remedy To Be Used
The faithful, therefore, having formed a just conception of the dignity of so excellent and exalted a blessing,
should be exhorted to profit by it to the best of their ability. For he who makes no use of what is really useful
and necessary must be supposed to despise it; particularly since, in communicating to the Church the power of
forgiving sin, the Lord did so with the view that all should have recourse to this healing remedy. As without
Baptism no one can be cleansed, so in order to recover the grace of Baptism, forfeited by actual mortal guilt,
recourse must be had to another means of expiation, -- namely, the Sacrament of Penance.
