Chapter 52: Such a Confession is Pleasing to God

The Lord, brothers, needs nothing and desires nothing from anyone except that they confess to Him. For the chosen David says, "I will confess to the Lord, and that will please Him more than a young bull with horns and hooves. Let the poor see it and be glad." And again he says, "Offer to God the sacrifice of praise and fulfill your vows to the Most High. And call upon Me in the day of your trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." For "the sacrifice of God is a broken spirit."
