00:08:38,435 --> 00:08:42,188 to protect his immortal soul against the attacks of demons, 84 00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:44,149 fiends, and devils, 85 00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:47,986 so terrifyingly real to the men of his time. 86 00:08:49,571 --> 00:08:50,739 At this time, of course, 87 00:08:50,739 --> 00:08:52,699 we'd never even heard of Martin Luther. 88 00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:55,118 He was just another monk. 89 00:08:55,118 --> 00:08:58,872 Germany was carpeted with them. 90 00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:02,125 But this one sought to outdo his brothers 91 00:09:02,125 --> 00:09:04,377 in practicing the counsels of perfection, 92 00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:06,880 hoping by mortification of the flesh 93 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,923 and the performance of good works 94 00:09:08,923 --> 00:09:14,387 to subdue the first agonized murmurings of doubt. 95 00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:16,806 What are the tools of good works? 96 00:09:16,806 --> 00:09:19,434 First, to love Lord God with all one's soul. 97 00:09:19,434 --> 00:09:21,603 Then, one's neighbor as oneself. 98 00:09:21,603 --> 00:09:24,606 Then, not to kill, not to commit adultery, 99 00:09:24,606 --> 00:09:27,275 not to steal, not to covet, 100 00:09:27,275 --> 00:09:29,486 not to bear false witness. 101 00:09:29,486 --> 00:09:31,946 To honor all men. 102 00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:34,908 To deny yourself in order to follow Christ. 103 00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:39,037 Not to yield to anger, not to nurse a grudge. 104 00:09:39,037 --> 00:09:41,539 To keep death daily before your eyes, 105 00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:44,667 to know for certain that God sees you everywhere. 106 00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:46,127 When evil thoughts come into your heart, 107 00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:49,130 to dash them at once on the love of Christ. 108 00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:52,592 To desire eternal life with all your spiritual longing. 109 00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:56,387 To keep constant vigilance over the actions of your life. 110 00:09:56,387 --> 00:09:59,808 To keep your mouth from evil and depraved talk. 111 00:09:59,808 --> 00:10:01,976 To fear the Day of Judgment, 112 00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:04,145 to dread hell. 113 00:10:04,145 --> 00:10:06,731 To confess your past sins to God that you may be steadfast 114 00:10:06,731 --> 00:10:08,900 against the desires of the flesh. 115 00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:10,819 To chastise the body. 116 00:10:10,819 --> 00:10:13,446 To love fasting, to clothe the naked, 117 00:10:13,446 --> 00:10:16,115 to visit the sick, to bury the dead. 118 00:10:16,115 --> 00:10:18,451 To prefer nothing to the love of Christ. 119 00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:21,663 Behold, these are the tools of the spiritual craft. 120 00:10:21,663 --> 00:10:23,331 If we employ these unceasingly, 121 00:10:23,331 --> 00:10:26,125 and render account of them on the Day of Judgment, 122 00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:27,961 then we shall receive from the Lord in return 123 00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:31,005 that reward that He Himself has promised: 124 00:10:31,005 --> 00:10:33,007 Eye hath not seen nor ear heard 125 00:10:33,007 --> 00:10:35,802 what God hath prepared for those that love Him. 126 00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:37,804 [soft music] 127 00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:56,447 [muttering indistinct prayer] 128 00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:59,033 I lost the body of a child, 129 00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:01,619 a child's body, eyes of a child, 130 00:11:01,619 --> 00:11:06,040 and at the first sound of my own childish voice. 131 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,919 I lost the body of a child. 132 00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:16,551 And I was afraid, and I went back to find it. 133 00:11:16,551 --> 00:11:19,178 And I'm still afraid. 134 00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:23,224 I'm afraid, and there's an end of it. 135 00:11:23,224 --> 00:11:27,437 But I mean... 136 00:11:27,437 --> 00:11:30,231 ...continually. 137 00:11:30,231 --> 00:11:33,192 For instance, of the noise the Prior's dog makes 138 00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:35,320 on a still evening when he rolls over on his side 139 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:41,075 and licks his teeth. 140 00:11:41,075 --> 00:11:46,414 I'm afraid of...
