Go Frequently In Spirit To the Gates of Hell

For whosoever goes frequently in spirit during life to the gates of hell, will not at death easily descend into hell; because meditation of this nature, that is, frequent and devout meditation, prevents us from sinning and withdraws us from hell. For since we see that men of the world refrain from committing evil deeds, because of temporal punishment, therefore, by so much the more should we fear and refrain from mortal sin, because of the punishment of hell, which is more terrible in regard to its duration, severity and variety.

St. Thomas Aquinas
