Book Three, Chapter 52
That a man Ought not to Esteem Himself Worthy of Consolation, but Rather Deserving of Chastisement

In true contrition and humility of heart is brought forth hope of forgiveness; the troubled conscience is reconciled; lost grace is recovered; man is secured from the wrath to come; and God and the penitent soul meet together with a holy kiss.  Humble contrition for sins is an acceptable sacrifice to You, O Lord, of far sweeter odor in Your sight than the burning of frankincense.  This is also that pleasing ointment which You would have to be poured upon Your sacred feet; for You never have despised a contrite and humble heart.
