Excerpt from The Beauty and Truth of the Catholic Church, Vol. 3: Sermons From the German, Adapted and Edited And the Lord said to Cain What hast thou done? Gen. 4, 10. After Cain had killed his brother Abel, the voice of God called to him Where is thy brother Abel? But When Cain gave back the surly answer: I know not: am I my brother's keeper? The voice of God made itself heard all the more insistently What hast thou done? It was the God of mercy who Wished to call Cain to an acknowledgment of his guilt, to contrition and thereby to penance and conversion, in order that He might pardon his grievous fault and show him mercy as He did to Adam and Eve after their fall.
