- By occasions of sin are meant such places, persons, or things which as a rule are the means of leading us into sin, if we go in quest of them.
- To expose one's self heedlessly to an occasion of sin, is in it self a sin; it entails the loss of divine grace and leads to mortal sin.
- He who finds himself in circumstances which are an occasion of sin to him, and does not instantly leave them, although it is in his power to do so, commits a sin ; he will be deprived of the assistance of divine grace and will fall into mortal sin.
- He who refuses to give up what is to him an occasion of sin, cannot expect to obtain pardon of sin here, or eternal salvation hereafter.
- The most common and the most dangerous occasions of sin are : liquor saloons, dancing saloons, bad theatres, bad periodicals, and bad novels.
