(On repentance) The seeds of thorns which Satan sowed in our land and carefully made to grow for many years: in one day repentance burns and purifies the field that it might yield fruits a hundredfold from the seed of the Plowman who is Christ. The ramparts which Satan took a long time to build to enclose the captives bound in darkness: for a brief moment repentance breathes on them and they are cast down and the light shines out on the face of those who sit in darkness.

      From dark beings she forms luminous ones. (L43)
