If a sinner would turn from his sins with full and true repentance, he
must go out to meet God in contrition and of his own free-will, and with an
upright purpose and intention to serve Him thenceforward and never to sin any
more. Then, in this meeting, he shall receive through the mercy of God a sure
hope of eternal bliss and the remission of his sins; and he shall further
receive the foundation of all virtue: namely, Faith, Hope, and Charity, and a
good-will toward all other virtues.
Blessed John Ruysbroeck (1293-1381)
