Whoever does not shun dangerous occasions will soon fall into a precipice
Spirituality
St. Alphonsus (c. 1755): “St. Augustine says that whoever does not shun dangerous occasions will soon fall into a precipice… The example of the unhappy Solomon should make us all tremble. At first he was most dear to God, and even inspired of the Holy Ghost, but by the love of strange women he was in his old age led into idolatry. Nor should his fall be a subject of wonder; for, as St. Cyprian says, to stand in the midst of flames and not to burn is impossible.”
Doctrine
St. Justin the Martyr (155): “… they are led by us to a place where there is water; and there they are reborn in the same kind of rebirth in which we ourselves were reborn… in the name of God… they receive the washing of water. For Christ said, ‘Unless you be reborn, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.’ The reason for doing this we have learned from the apostles.”
