But Jesus spoke to me all that I needed to understand, and here is what he said, “Sin has a part to play in my plan, but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.” In this naked word, sin, our Lord brought to my mind all that is evil and shameful, and the utter wickedness which he bore for us both in his spirit and his body in the course of his life, passion, and death. All of this was showed me in a moment, for our good Lord did not desire to frighten me at this terrible sight.
