“By contrition we are made clean, by compassion we are made ready, and by true longing toward God we are made worthy.”

The Thirteenth Revelation, Chapter 39
Context: By contrition we are made clean, by compassion we are made ready, and by true longing toward God we are made worthy. These are three means, as I understand, whereby that all souls come to heaven: that is to say, that have been sinners in earth and shall be saved: for by these three medicines it behoveth that every soul be healed.
