A person who is suffering from a slight illness . . . has no need to go and see a doctor; she can get well alone But if it is a serious illness, if it is a dangerous wound, then the doctor must be called in, and after the doctor come the medicines. When we have fallen into some grave sin, we must go to the doctor, who is the priest, and take the medicine, which is confession.
——-St. John Vianney
