This page has three parts: Independent Biblical Identification, Cross-Entry Synthesis, and Observation Notes.
01-56 Biblical Resonance Analysis
STAGE ONE — INDEPENDENT BIBLICAL IDENTIFICATION
This entry records the seven-hour divine confession: Christ acting as confessor, the accusation of pride illustrated through the worm-king parable, the comprehension of God’s sustained love in the very act of sin, the application of Gethsemane’s merit, absolution in blood, penance at the wounds, and the final grace of confirmation against voluntary venial sin. Six conceptual movements are identifiable.
The Divine Confessor: Enter Your Nothingness, Recite the Confiteor
“This time I Myself want to do the office of confessor. You will confess all of your sins to Me… so that, by comprehending what sin is, as much as it is possible for a creature, you may be resolved to die rather than to offend Me. You, in the meantime, enter into your nothingness, and recite the Confiteor.”
Psalm 32:5 — “I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.” The divine invitation to confess all sins corresponds to the Psalmist’s resolution: the hiding of sin gives way to the acknowledgment before the Lord who forgives. Direct doctrinal parallel.
1 John 1:9 — “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” The divine acting as confessor — the faithful and just one forgiving the sins confessed — corresponds to the Johannine principle. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Psalm 139:23–24 — “Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.” “By comprehending what sin is, as much as it is possible for a creature” — the invitation to divine scrutiny before the confession corresponds to the Psalmist’s prayer for the divine search. Affective/meditative.
Luke 15:18–21 — “kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’” “Do not fear. If I am a judge, I am also your father. Courage, let us proceed” — the divine’s self-identification as father alongside judge corresponds to the prodigal son’s return to the father who runs to meet him. Direct doctrinal parallel.
The Sin of Pride: The Worm-King Parable
“Draw near my Heart, and place your ear over It – you will hear the cruel torment that you have caused my Heart with this sin.” … Imagine a king, and at the feet of this king, a worm… reaching the head of this king, wanting to remove the crown from him… throw him off his throne… tries to kill him.
Isaiah 14:12–15 — “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn!… You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high… I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol.” The worm-king parable — the creature removing the crown and throne of God — corresponds to Isaiah’s description of the Luciferian fall: the pride that says “I will make myself like the Most High” is the theological content of the worm removing God’s crown. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Ezekiel 28:17 — “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.” The pride that reaches the head of the king to steal his crown corresponds to Ezekiel’s analysis of the pride of the anointed cherub: the beauty given by the Creator becomes the basis for the rebellion against the Creator. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Psalm 22:6 — “But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.” “I would see myself as a worm” — the worm-self image confirmed again, appearing for the third time in Volume 1 (Entries 018, 043, 056). Affective/meditative.
Sirach 10:12–14 — “It is the beginning of pride when a man departs from the Lord. His heart has departed from him who made him. For the beginning of pride is sin. He who keeps it will pour out abomination. For this cause the Lord brought upon them strange calamities and utterly overthrew them. The Lord cast down the thrones of rulers and set the lowly in their place.” The worm-king parable’s theological content — pride as the creature reaching for the divine throne — corresponds to Sirach’s analysis: pride’s beginning is sin, and its end is the overthrow of the one who exalted himself. Direct doctrinal parallel.
James 4:6 — “But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”” The divine’s response to the worm’s audacity — not to crush it immediately but to allow the confession and offer grace — corresponds to James’s principle: the one who humbles himself under the God who “opposes the proud” receives grace. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Comprehending God’s Love in the Act of Sin
“I was stunned at how daring I had been, wondering from where had I taken that courage to offend a God so good, who, in the very act in which I was offending Him, assisted me, preserved me, nourished me.”
Romans 5:8 — “But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” The divine assisting, preserving, and nourishing in the very act of sin corresponds to Paul’s “while we were still sinners”: the love was not conditional on the creature’s repentance but operative throughout. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Jeremiah 31:3 — “I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you” The everlasting love sustained through the offense corresponds to the Jeremiah covenant-love: constant faithfulness regardless of the creature’s condition. Hogan cites this. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Psalm 36:9 — “For with you is the spring of life. In your light we will see light.” “I had such a vivid clarity, being in front of that Divine Sun” — the clarity about sin comes through the divine light, as Ps 36:9 names: “in your light do we see light.” Hogan cites this. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Ephesians 2:14 — “For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,” “He was all occupied with removing that wall of division between the soul and God, which sin had produced” — the wall between the soul and God that sin creates corresponds to the Pauline dividing wall that Christ’s Passion breaks down. Hogan cites this. Direct doctrinal parallel.
The Seven Hours: Confession of Thoughts, Words, Works, Causes, Omissions
When he would see that I was unable to continue because of the pain… He would withdraw and leave me, to allow me to comprehend well the evil I had done. And then He would come back again… the accusation, which lasted about seven hours.
Psalm 51:3–5 — “For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me. Against you, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge. Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.” The full seven-hour accusation — thoughts, words, works, causes, omissions — corresponds to the Davidic total-confession: “my sin is ever before me”; nothing hidden, nothing minimized. Affective/meditative.
Hebrews 4:13 — “There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.” “I had such a vivid clarity, being in front of that Divine Sun… I could see my littleness” — the total exposure before the divine corresponds to Hebrews’ “naked and exposed.” Direct doctrinal parallel.
Absolution: Gethsemane’s Merit Applied, Blood Poured Out
“I Myself want to make up for you, so I apply to your soul the merit of the pain I had in the Garden of Gethsemani. This alone can satisfy the divine justice.” … He raised His blessed right hand and pronounced the words of the absolution… a river of blood poured down from His hand, and my soul was completely inundated by it.
Luke 22:42–44 — ““Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”” And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” “I apply to your soul the merit of the pain I had in the Garden of Gethsemani” — the Gethsemane agony as the specific merit applied for the satisfaction of divine justice corresponds to the Luke account: the Gethsemane suffering is the moment of Christ’s most acute interior suffering. Christological/Trinitarian.
1 John 1:7 — “But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.” “A river of blood poured down from His hand, and my soul was completely inundated by it” — the blood of Christ cleansing the soul corresponds to the Johannine declaration. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Hebrews 9:22 — “According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.” “A river of blood poured down from His hand” — the blood poured in the act of absolution corresponds to the Hebrews principle: forgiveness requires the shedding of blood. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Revelation 7:14 — “I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering. They washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.” “My soul was completely inundated by it” — the soul inundated by the blood of Christ corresponds to the white robes washed in the Lamb’s blood. Typological.
John 5:14 / John 8:11 — “Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” / “Go, and from now on sin no more.” “Do you promise to sin no more, and to banish from your heart any shadow of evil?” — the purpose-of-amendment question corresponds to Christ’s post-healing and post-forgiveness commands. Hogan cites these. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Penance, Grace, and Confirmation Against Venial Sin
“Come, oh daughter, come to make penance for your sins by kissing my wounds.” … “My daughter, be more vigilant and attentive, because today I give you the grace not to fall, ever again, into voluntary venial sin.”
Psalm 51:11 — “Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.” “Do not want to cast me away because of the great wrong I have done to You” — Luisa’s prayer corresponds precisely to Ps 51:11. Hogan cites this. Affective/meditative.
Romans 6:4 — “We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.” The post-absolution penance — kissing the wounds, then standing up — corresponds to the baptismal resurrection pattern: burial in the death of sin, rising to newness of life. Direct doctrinal parallel.
2 Peter 1:4 — “by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.” “I give you the grace not to fall, ever again, into voluntary venial sin” — the confirmation in grace that escapes sin’s corruption corresponds to the Petrine participation in the divine nature. Direct doctrinal parallel.

ADDITIONS — HERS
The worm-as-Satan correspondence (doctrinal): Hogan’s identification — “that’s a very very very good description of the sin of Satan; he wants to be God and he wants to be worshipped as God; that problem started with Satan in heaven with the fall of the angels and with Adam on the earth” — places the worm-king parable within the primordial pride narrative. The “very very very” elevation is the strongest triple-emphasis in the commentary since Volume 2’s “I Myself am obedience” elevation. The implicit scriptural background is Isa 14:12–15, Ezek 28:17, and Rev 12:7–9 (war in heaven).
The confirmation in grace against voluntary venial sin as “confirmed in the divine will” (doctrinal forward bridge): Hogan’s identification — “she is confirmed in the divine will and that is where we have to aim at in our journey as well; that the Lord will bring us to the place where sin is banished from us completely” — places the grace of Entry 056 within the divine-will-spirituality frame. The freedom from voluntary venial sin is the operational threshold for living in the divine will. This is a significant forward bridge.
Seven hours of accusation (pastoral): Hogan’s observation — “I can’t imagine how she would have filled seven hours with accusations” — is the informal elevation the observation notes anticipated. The content of the seven hours (thoughts, words, works, causes, omissions) establishes the comprehensiveness of the confession: no category untouched.
VIP / SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS
Hogan applies “very very very good description” to the worm-king parable — the strongest triple-emphasis elevation in Volume 1. This elevates the parable as a uniquely precise account of pride’s theological structure.
The confirmation in grace against voluntary venial sin receives the informal elevation “wow, wow” — the strongest single-word elevation for any grace in the commentary.
STAGE TWO SYNTHESIS
This entry achieves strong convergence: Ps 36:9, Jer 31:3, Eph 2:14, Ps 51:11, Jn 5:14, Jn 8:11 — six confirmed citations, all clean, no deviations.
Stage One’s major additions: the three pride-parable passages (Isa 14:12–15; Ezek 28:17; Sirach 10:12–14), Luke 15:18–21 (prodigal father for the judge-and-father dynamic), Luke 22:42–44 (Gethsemane for the applied merit), and the blood-absolution cluster (1 Jn 1:7; Heb 9:22; Rev 7:14).
Hogan’s major additions: the worm-as-Satan triple-elevation, the confirmation-in-grace as divine-will threshold, and the seven-hour scale as informal elevation.
The dominant biblical imagination: the penitential Psalm tradition (Ps 32; Ps 51; Ps 139) as the governing frame; the Luciferian-pride tradition (Isa 14; Ezek 28; Sirach 10) for the parable’s theological content; the Gethsemane-merit application (Luke 22:42–44) as the absolution’s specific instrument; and the blood-cleansing tradition (1 Jn 1:7; Heb 9:22; Rev 7:14) for the absolution’s form.
Cross-Entry Synthesis
The Divine Confessor: Enter Your Nothingness, Recite the Confiteor
“This time I Myself want to do the office of confessor… You, in the meantime, enter into your nothingness, and recite the Confiteor.”
Hogan provides the structural outline (sections A through K) rather than scriptural citations for this movement. Stage One establishes: Ps 32:5 (I will confess my transgressions; you forgave), 1 Jn 1:9 (if we confess, he is faithful to forgive), Ps 139:23–24 (search me, O God), and Luke 15:18–21 (the prodigal son’s return and the father’s welcome).
Luke 15:18–21 is the most theologically resonant identification. The prodigal’s resolve — “I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you” — is the narrative form of what Luisa does in entering her nothingness and reciting the Confiteor. The divine’s response — “Do not fear. If I am a judge, I am also your father. Courage, let us proceed” — is the father who “ran and embraced him and kissed him” (Luke 15:20) rendered as divine self-disclosure: the same father who ran toward the returning son now identifies himself to the soul trembling before the judge.
The instruction to “enter into your nothingness” before the Confiteor is RP-3 (Hogan’s “throw your nothingness into his allness”) in its most sacramental form: the nothingness is the precondition for the divine’s action in the confession. Only the soul that has acknowledged its nothingness can receive the grace of the seven-hour disclosure.
The Sin of Pride: The Worm-King Parable
“Draw near my Heart… you will hear the cruel torment that you have caused my Heart with this sin.” … Imagine a king, and at the feet of this king, a worm… reaching the head of this king, wanting to remove the crown from him…
VIP DESIGNATION: Hogan applies “very very very good description” to the worm-king parable — the entry’s strongest elevation and the most significant triple-emphasis in Volume 1 outside of Volume 2’s “I Myself am obedience.” The parable is elevated as a uniquely precise account of pride’s theological structure.
Both streams converge on the worm-king parable’s theological ground through Hogan’s identification: “that’s a description of the sin of Satan; he wants to be God and he wants to be worshipped as God; that problem started with Satan in heaven.” Stage One establishes: Isa 14:12–15 (Luciferian fall — I will make myself like the Most High), Ezek 28:17 (pride because of beauty), and Sirach 10:12–14 (the beginning of pride is sin; the Lord overthrows the proud).
Isa 14:12–15 is the most theologically precise correspondent. The worm’s sequence — removing the crown, stripping the vestments, throwing from the throne, trying to kill — corresponds exactly to Isaiah’s Luciferian narrative: “I will ascend to heaven… I will make myself like the Most High.” Each stage of the worm’s audacity corresponds to a stage of the primordial pride: the desire to crown oneself (ascend to heaven), to dethrone God (set my throne above the stars), and ultimately to displace the Creator (make myself like the Most High). The worm’s “trying to kill him” corresponds to the full implication of the Luciferian pride: not merely equality with God but the elimination of God.
Hogan’s connection to Adam — “that problem started with Satan in heaven with the fall of the angels and with Adam on the earth” — provides the horizontal range: the worm-king parable is not only Luisa’s personal pride but the primordial structure of all pride. The “very very very” triple-emphasis confirms this is the entry’s doctrinal summit.
The entry’s most acute theological observation: “it itself does not know its own being” — pride, by definition, involves a fundamental ignorance of the creature’s nature. This corresponds to Hogan’s RP-3 formula: “if we are suffering from pride it means we do not know the nothingness of our own being; that’s why we are told to get into your nothingness and acknowledge it; pride blocks God from being able to do anything.”
Comprehending God’s Love in the Act of Sin
“I was stunned at how daring I had been… to offend a God so good, who, in the very act in which I was offending Him, assisted me, preserved me, nourished me.”
Both streams converge on Jer 31:3 (everlasting love), Ps 36:9 (in your light we see light), and Eph 2:14 (the dividing wall broken down). All three confirmed independently. Stage One adds Rom 5:8 (while we were still sinners) for the love-in-the-act-of-sin.
This movement is Entry 050’s joint prayer (“yet I loved you, and at that very moment, I preserved you”) now seen from the creaturely side of comprehension. In Entry 050, the divine spoke the preservation in the act of sin; in Entry 056, Luisa comprehends its full weight during the seven-hour confession. The two entries form a paired meditation on the same theological mystery: the divine love active and sustaining in the moment of offense.
Ps 36:9 (“in your light we see light”) is confirmed again — this is its most precise Volume 1 application. The “vivid clarity” before the Divine Sun is the specific operation of the principle: the creature can only see its own sin clearly when illuminated by the divine light. Without the divine sun, the creature cannot know the nothingness it is sinning from; with the divine sun, both the sin’s ugliness and the divine love’s persistence become simultaneously visible.
Eph 2:14 (the dividing wall broken down) is the most ecclesially significant addition from Hogan. “He was all occupied with removing that wall of division between the soul and God, which sin had produced” — the Pauline “dividing wall of hostility” corresponds to the specific mechanism: sin creates a wall, and the divine in the act of the soul’s sin is simultaneously occupied with breaking down the wall that sin is building. The divine is not merely patient but actively counteracting sin’s effects in the moment they are being produced.
Absolution: Gethsemane’s Merit Applied, Blood Poured Out
“I apply to your soul the merit of the pain I had in the Garden of Gethsemani. This alone can satisfy the divine justice.” … “A river of blood poured down from His hand, and my soul was completely inundated by it.”
Hogan does not cite Scripture specifically for the Gethsemane-merit application. Stage One establishes: Luke 22:42–44 (the Gethsemane agony), 1 Jn 1:7 (the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin), Heb 9:22 (without shedding of blood no forgiveness), and Rev 7:14 (robes washed in the Lamb’s blood).
The Gethsemane-merit application is theologically distinctive. Of all the Passion’s moments, it is specifically the Gethsemane agony — not the Crucifixion — that is applied to satisfy the divine justice for Luisa’s sins. This corresponds to IP-1 (the interior Passion): the interior suffering of Christ in Gethsemane is the specifically interior form of the Passion, corresponding to the interior dimension of sin’s offense. The crown of thorns and the lance correspond to the exterior Passion; Gethsemane corresponds to the interior. The divine selects the merit most precisely calibrated to the nature of the offense.
The blood-absolution sequence (a river of blood pouring from the divine’s raised right hand) is the volume’s most vivid sacramental image. 1 Jn 1:7, Heb 9:22, and Rev 7:14 together establish the complete theology: the blood of Christ cleanses (1 Jn 1:7); forgiveness requires the shedding of blood (Heb 9:22); the soul inundated in the blood is the soul whose robes are made white (Rev 7:14). The absolution is not a legal declaration but a material reality: the soul is physically drenched in the divine blood.
Penance, Grace, and Confirmation Against Venial Sin
“Come, oh daughter, come to make penance for your sins by kissing my wounds.” … “Today I give you the grace not to fall, ever again, into voluntary venial sin.”
Both streams converge on Ps 51:11 (do not cast me away), Jn 5:14 and Jn 8:11 (sin no more), confirmed independently. Stage One adds Rom 6:4 (buried with Christ, raised to newness of life) and 2 Pet 1:4 (partakers of the divine nature, escaped from sin’s corruption).
Hogan’s elevation — “wow, wow… that’s the most incredible grace” — and the identification of the confirmation against voluntary venial sin as “confirmed in the divine will” is the most significant forward bridge in the commentary for Entry 056. The connection to divine-will spirituality is precise: the freedom from voluntary venial sin is the operational threshold. DW-SEED-3 (all actions done with the sole purpose of pleasing God) requires that no voluntary offense interrupt the single-motive principle. The grace of Entry 056 removes the obstacle that would otherwise continually interrupt the divine-will life.
The penance at the wounds — “kissing my sacred wounds” — corresponds to the wound-participation arc established across Volume 1 (Entries 009 through 049). Having received absolution through the blood that flows from the wounds (Jn 19:34), the soul now kisses the wounds as the form of penance: the wounds are simultaneously the source of the absolution and the subject of the penitential devotion.
Synthesis Conclusion
Dominant biblical imagination: The penitential Psalm tradition (Ps 32; Ps 51; Ps 139) as the governing frame for the confession structure; the Luciferian-pride tradition (Isa 14:12–15; Ezek 28:17; Sirach 10:12–14) for the worm-king parable’s theological content; the Gethsemane tradition (Luke 22:42–44) as the specific merit applied; and the blood-cleansing tradition (1 Jn 1:7; Heb 9:22; Rev 7:14) for the absolution’s form.
Load-bearing correspondences:
-
Isaiah 14:12–15 / Ezekiel 28:17 / Sirach 10:12–14 — The Luciferian pride as the worm-king parable’s theological ground. Stage One identifies all three. Hogan provides the corresponding doctrinal identification. Together they establish that the worm-king parable is not a private spiritual illustration but the recapitulation of the primordial pride: every act of creaturely pride re-enacts the Luciferian sequence, and the entry’s “very very very good description” elevation confirms this as the parable’s doctrinal weight.
-
Luke 22:42–44 / 1 John 1:7 / Hebrews 9:22 — The Gethsemane merit applied and its blood-absolution form. Stage One identifies all three. Together they establish the complete sacramental theology of the absolution: the specific merit selected (Gethsemane — the interior Passion’s suffering) and the form of its application (blood pouring over the soul, cleansing it completely). The divine’s choice of Gethsemane rather than the Crucifixion corresponds to the interior nature of the offense.
-
Psalm 36:9 / Jeremiah 31:3 / Ephesians 2:14 — The divine light revealing sin, the love sustaining through sin, and the wall actively broken down. Both streams converge on all three. Together they establish the entry’s most theologically paradoxical truth: in the same moment the creature sins, the divine illuminates the sin (Ps 36:9), sustains the creature in love (Jer 31:3), and works to break down the wall the sin is building (Eph 2:14).
VIP designations: Hogan applies “very very very good description” to the worm-king parable (the entry’s doctrinal summit — the primordial pride recapitulated) and “wow, wow” to the confirmation against voluntary venial sin (the entry’s grace-summit — the divine-will threshold reached).
Observation Note
(a) Confirmation against voluntary venial sin as the divine-will threshold: The grace of Entry 056 removes the obstacle to the divine-will life. Hogan’s “confirmed in the divine will” places this grace within the DW-SEED trajectory: DW-SEED-3 (all actions to please God alone) requires the freedom from voluntary venial sin that Entry 056 grants. This is the most significant DW-SEED-3 forward bridge in Volume 1.
(b) Gethsemane as the specifically interior Passion merit: The selection of Gethsemane’s merit (rather than the Crucifixion) for the satisfaction of divine justice corresponds to IP-1: the interior Passion is the specifically interior form of the Passion’s suffering. The divine selects the merit most precisely calibrated to the nature of the offense. Entry 056 is now added as a primary IP-1 reference.
(c) “Very very very good description” — the strongest VIP-equivalent elevation in Volume 1: The worm-king parable receives the triple-emphasis elevation, placing it alongside the Volume 2 “I Myself am obedience” triple-elevation. The parable’s recapitulation of primordial Luciferian pride is the doctrinal content that warrants the elevation.
(d) Entry 056 is the volume’s most complete sacramental theology: The seven-hour confession incorporates: examination of conscience (entering nothingness), Confiteor, accusation by category (thoughts, words, works, causes, omissions), contrition (produced through divine disclosure), Gethsemane merit applied, absolution in blood, penance at the wounds, and final exhortation. No other entry in Volume 1 narrates the complete sacramental structure.
Observation Notes
See this note in volume context →
01-56
On the “very very very” elevation: The worm-king parable receives the strongest VIP-equivalent designation in Volume 1, matching the triple-emphasis that Volume 2 applied to “I Myself am obedience.” The parable is elevated as a uniquely precise account of primordial pride — not Luisa’s personal sin analysis but the recapitulation of the Luciferian sequence.
On the Gethsemane merit as the specifically interior form: The divine’s selection of Gethsemane rather than the Crucifixion for the satisfaction of justice is theologically precise — the interior Passion’s merit for the interior nature of the offense. This is now Entry 056’s primary IP-1 reference.
On the confirmation against voluntary venial sin as the divine-will threshold: Hogan’s “confirmed in the divine will” places this grace directly in the DW-SEED-3 trajectory. Freedom from voluntary venial sin is the operational precondition for the single-motive principle that the higher volumes will develop systematically.
On Entry 056 as the volume’s most complete sacramental structure: No other entry narrates the complete confession sequence from examination of conscience through final exhortation. This is the entry that would deserve the most careful attention from anyone approaching Volume 1 as a catechetical document.
