(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons )     What is a little suffering in this life, if you are spared everlasting torments?   Think of the rich glutton, now burning in hell.   What would he not do to expiate his sins, could he return to this world?   There is no reason why you should not now do as much, if you feel that you have ever offended God.  Ven. Louis Granada, O.P.

(Source: Wikimedia Commons ) “When I thought of God’s judgment too long, I grew fearful, and if I thought too long of God’s mercy, I grew lax. And this experience has taught me to sing not alone the mercies of the Lord, and not alone in His judgment, but judgment and mercy together in one embrace.” (St. Bernard of Clairvaux)
