The Ruin Of A Way

Et viam peccatorum disperdet, regnabit Dominus in saecula. Quoniam via peccatorum perierit, tunc regnabit Dominus in saecula. Non dixit: in saeculum; sed in saecula. Quamdiu via non perit, Christus non regnat in nobis. Quamdiu via peccatorum non perit, Christus non regnat in nobis. Quamdiu pedes nostri ambulant in via diaboli, Christus non regnabit in nobis. Irascor sine cause fratri meo: in via diaboli ambulo: Christus non regnat ion me. Detraho fratri meo: in via diabolo ambulo: Christus non regnat in me. In quocumque peccato ambulavero, in via diaboli ambulo: Christus non regnat in me. Sanctus Hieronymus, Breviarum In Psalmos, Psalmus CXLV Source Migne PL 26.1252c

And the way of sinners He shall bring to ruin, the Lord shall reign forever. 1 Because when the way of the sinners shall have perished, then the Lord shall rule forever. It does not say for a time, but forever. For as long as that way does not perish, Christ does not reign in us. For as long as the way of sinners does not perish, Christ does not rule in us. For as long as our feet walk in the way of the devil, Christ does not rule in us. I am angry without cause at my brother: I walk in the way of the devil and Christ does not reign in me. I speak ill of my brother: I walk in the way of the devil and Christ does not reign in me. In whatever sin I walk, I walk in the way of the devil and Christ does not reign in me. Saint Jerome, Commentary On The Psalms, Psalm 145 1 Ps 145.9-10
