Deny, Denial

The First Denial of Saint Peter – James Tissot, Brooklyn Museum.

It is not a sin to be ignorant, but it is a sin to deny.

In "The Gospel as Revealed to Me"

• It is not a sin to be ignorant, but it is a sin to deny.
• Whoever denies me before men will be denied as a son before the Angels of God.

In the other works of Maria Valtorta

Notebooks 1943

• Dictation of December 29: Woe to those who deny this Name and offend it by substituting the demonic sign of Satan for that holy Name, or even merely allow the weakened spirit to forget it, as if a corrosive substance erased it from their self, which has life only through this Name.
