That Juana might never bow her head under their hereditary shame, the mother had the courage to renounce her child for her child's sake, and to seek, not without horrible suffering, for another mother, another home, other principles to follow, other and saintlier examples to imitate. The abdication of a mother is either a revolting act or a sublime one; in this case, was it not sublime?
'God be merciful to me a sinner, said the true penitent. And then this fine principle comes in here not only to speed the sure sanctification of a true Christian, but also, if he has skill and courage to use it, for his assurance and comfort, that the saintlier he becomes and the riper for glory, the more he will beat his breast over what yet abides within his breast.
