TRADCATKNIGHT: IMITATION OF THE SACRED HEART: HOW DECEITFUL THE WORLD IS
The voice of Jesus.-----My Child, the whole world is made up of deceits, and by its arts and wiles, it allures to itself the unwary.
It holds out to man pleasures, honors, and riches; and says, all these things will I give to thee, if thou serve me.
But attend thou, not to what it promises, but to what it gives.
Through the deceitful hope of pleasant things, it brings its votaries beneath the cruel tyranny of the passions, and thence leads them to the ceaseless tortures of the stings of conscience.
Didst thou ever find a worldling, even the most fortunate, whose heart was every way satisfied?
Neither shalt thou find such a one, even if thou searchest the whole earth.
The world, indeed, promises good things; but, in reality, it bestows true evils only; because what it gives, makes man wicked, and hinders him, by no means, from being truly unhappy.
