The young Priest was somewhat surprised, and without attempting to evade the implied rebuke contented himself with submitting to the judgment of the holy Bishop his secret unworthiness, his youth, his unmortified passions, his fear of misusing so divine a mystery by not living as they should live who each day offer it up.
All these little fears and distresses, and semblance of humility, I now see clearly were mere imperfections, and the result of my unmortified life; for a soul left in the hands of God cares nothing about evil or good report, if it clearly comprehends, when our Lord is pleased to bestow upon it His grace, that it has nothing of its own.
This point is important for a soul upset by its passions, anger, pride, etc., cannot with fervour recite the Hours, for it cannot converse with God, it cannot elevate itself to God, it can have no true union with God. It cannot converse with God, for God will not converse with an unmortified soul for three reasons.
They neither made defection from the profession of the truth, nor did they fall away because of persecution; but having shined in the light a sound profession, having also taken up the cross, and borne the reproach of Christ, they made shipwreck at last upon an unmortified lust. I shall enlarge the doctrine no further, but touch upon some few uses, and so an end.
A fine rakish notion and hope! And too much encouraged, I doubt, my dear, by the generality of our sex! This brought on a more serious question or two. You'll see by it what a creature an unmortified libertine is. I asked him, if he knew what he had said, alluded to a sentence in the best of books, That there as more joy in heaven He took the words out of my mouth,
Answer I grant the terms are hard to flesh and blood, and to proud unmortified nature; but to such as are willing to be saved, so as God may be most glorified, the terms are easy, most rational and satisfying: for, We are required to take him only for our Mediator, and to join none with him, and to mix nothing with him.
God grant that your desires and unmortified passions may not hinder you from that which hath been ordained for you. O Salmán! All that the sages and mystics have said or written have never exceeded, nor can they ever hope to exceed, the limitations to which man’s finite mind hath been strictly subjected.
Ah, there it was the the TECHNIQUE! A desperate desire to laugh seized her. And he saw it oh, yes, he saw it! He gave her one look, passed that same hand over his smooth face, and behold! it showed as before, unmortified, unconscious. A deadly little man!
It may import the festering of unmortified corruption among the votaries of Antichrist, intensified by the faithful application of the divine law by the witnesses. Intestine commotions, with war, blood and death, seem to be symbolized. The horns of the beast were often turned against one another; for the bestial kingdom was "partly broken."
Again, even if God speaks to an unmortified soul, it cannot hear Him as the passions fix its attention on worldly matters. And even when such a soul tries to listen and to understand, the passions surging and warring drown all sound and sense of holy things.
