Lies and Truth

Beware of lies: of telling them, and of hearing them. For it is easy to lie, but God sees, and the devil knows too, because he is the father and source of all lies. And there are lies all around too, in society; examples abound. The greatest of the lies is the twist the devil makes out of the truth of your sins. He tells you there is no other way of salvation than to try better, thus burdening the conscience all the more; this is worst, because the greatest truth is Christ and his mercy.
