“Paris, Paris, […] instead of arming yourself with the name of the Lord, you surround yourself with houses of immorality. These will be destroyed by you, your idol will be reduced to ashes to be fulfilled:
‘Mentita est iniquitas sibi’ [Iniquity has deceived itself].
‘Your enemies will bring you into trouble, they will bring you famine, and terror and abomination nations will forsake, and despise my law,’ declares the Lord.”
From the biography and writings of Saint Giovanni Bosco [pp.600-601]
