The purer a heart is, the larger and more open it is, and the more easily it finds space to accommodate more people. The more sinful it is, the more it contracts, shuts down, and so it can find room for only a few.

One day he went as usual to make his confession, but when he opened the door he found the man fornicating with a woman. He left immediately and, as he did so, he said to himself: ‘What on earth’s just ?. This is terrible. I’ve been confessing to him for years and now what am I going to do? Will I go to hell?
