You should not ask either for pardon when wrong is done, nor for
reward, when right is done! Why? Doing right is but man's
duty. What other reward can there be? The joy of having
done one's duty is its own reward. Doing wrong is against the
duty of all human beings. So, if a wrong action has been done,
one should repent and pray for the intelligence and discrimination
necessary for not repeating the wrong already committed. Beyond
this, it depends upon His Grace, whether He punishes and protects or
pardons and corrects!
