being on the side of the
Church.
These nuns, astonished at what is said--that they are in the way of
perdition; that their confessors are leading them to Geneva; that they
suggest to them that Jesus Christ is not in the Eucharist, nor on the
right
hand of the Father--know that all this is false and, therefore, offer
themselves to God in this state. Vide si via iniquitatis in me est.192
What
happens thereupon? This place, which is said to be the temple of the
devil,
God makes His own temple. It is said that the children must be taken away
from it. God heals them there. It is said that it is the arsenal of hell.
God makes of it the sanctuary of His grace. Lastly, they are threatened
with
all the fury and vengeance of heaven; and God overwhelms them with
favours.
A man would need to have lost his senses to conclude from this that they
are
therefore in the way of perdition.
(We have without doubt the same signs as Saint Athanasius.)
842. Si tu es Christus, dic nobis.193
Opera quae ego facio in nomine patris mei, haec testimonium perhibent de
me.
Sed vos non creditis quia non estis ex ovibus meis. Oves meae vocem meam
audiunt.194
