George Leo Haydock

Great. “Original sin is common to all, and will not be washed away, except God be pleased to destroy it in baptism.” (St. Jerome) — David had committed adultery; and all must acknowledge their manifold guilt. (Calmet) — Though the guilt had been remitted, the punishment due to David’s crime was to be endured in this life, and he ought daily to pray for pardon. (Berthier) — The aversion from God in sin is great, and standeth in need of his gracious remission. (Worthington)
