Psalm 36, 1-5

Humans from the cradle to the grave are a wicked, darkness loving lot, prone to sin and to fall away from the straight and narrow, rarely finding the path back to heaven: "Sin speaks to the wicked man in his heart; there is no dread of God before his eyes, For he beguiles himself with the thought that his guilt will not be found out or hated. The words of his mouth are empty and false; he has ceased to understand how to do good. He plans wickedness in his bed; he sets out on a way that is not good, with no repugnance for evil."

God sees all, and the Mother and the Father read every human heart, so our cruel, selfish, wicked ways and doings are known and marked against us in both worlds.

Good Spirits love and forgive us, but justice requires punishment for unrepentant rebellion and defiance against goodness and God. The Spirits hate our sins, but not the sinner, no matter the depth and length of punishment meted out to pay for our crimes.

The wicked love their wicked ways, and are revolted by holiness, love and goodness; they have forgotten how to do good, or make their way back to goodness.

Be not like them, nor lose your way.
