Epistle Today: Clements Name in Book of Life?
« Reply #5 on: November 05, 2012, 10:41:28 PM »
Quote from: Santo Subito
If one's name can be blotted out of the book of life,
what is the purpose of keeping the book? And I ask this in all seriousness.
Are names dropping in and out of the book upon
every mortal sin and confession?

Is the book just a metaphor for state of grace? Thanks.


Here is something you may find interesting.

From the treatise De veritate of the Angelic Doctor, englished as Truth: Translated from the Definitive Leonine Text (Vol. I, trans. Rev. Fr. Robert W. Mulligan, S.J.; Chicago: Henry Regnery Company, 1952).

Unfortunately, I cannot scan and upload the entire section.
