God's Mercy: Deliver Us from Evil
GOD'S MERCY: DELIVER US FROM EVIL Nous implorons la miséricorde de Dieu; non afin qu'il nous laisse en paix dans nos vices mais afin qu'il nous en délivre. We implore the mercy of God, not that He may leave us at peace in our vices, but that He may deliver us from them. --Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), PENSÉES, Part IV, #553, "The Mystery of Jesus" (1660). www.croixsens.net/pascal/page9.php (In the original French) www.ccel.org/ccel/pascal/pensees.txt (Translation by W.
