“Now he began to divine that a deeper meaning and a deeper wisdom underlay Our Lord's commandment "Thou shalt not kill" than merely that which he had been told–God desires not the death of any sinner. Behind the commandment lay also a care for the slayer–the slayer also exposed his soul to many kinds of evil powers, which now found occasion for sudden assaults.”
