"The existence of hell brings home
to us with terrifying clarity the fact that God is just, and that His justice
is not to be separated from His mercy.
We must stress with special emphasis, however, that hell is
not a blind destiny into which the sinner plunges unawares, but is his
self-chosen and fully deserved portion."
Leo Rudloff, O.S.B.
