Reuelacio septima in libro questionum, in qua Christus loquens sponse sue beate Birgitte laudat frequentacionem confessionis, ne homo amittat graciam Dei, quam habet.
The Vent of Confession
Christ uses the metaphor of a chimney to explain how the regular practice of confession allows the smoke of sin to escape, preserving the warmth of divine grace within the soul.
The Son of God says: "When there's a fire in a house, there must be an opening for the smoke to escape, so that the person living there can enjoy the warmth." So, if you want to keep my spirit and my divine grace, it’s helpful to practice constant confession, so that the smoke of sin can escape. Although my divine spirit is in itself unchanging, it withdraws more quickly from any heart that isn't guarded by the confession of humility.
Read the original Latin
Filius Dei loquitur: "Vbi ignis est in domo, necesse est foramen, quo exeat fumus, vt inhabitator ex calore gaudeat.
Sic quicumque spiritum et graciam meam diuinam tenere desiderat, vtile est sibi confessione continua, per quam egrediatur peccati fumus.
Quia licet spiritus meus diuinus in se ipso immutabilis sit, tamen a corde illo se cicius subtrahit, quod humilitatis confessio non custodit."
