God embraces the…
There is neither father nor mother nor son, nor any other person whatsoever, who can embrace the object beloved with so great a love as that wherewith God embraces the soul.
–Blessed Angela of Foligno (1248-1309)
Everyone will be judged…
Everyone – past, present, and future – will be judged. Now, then, is the time for mercy, while the time to come will be the time for justice only. For that reason, the present time is ours, but the future time will be God’s only!
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Places in Hell…
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.
–Dante Allighieri (c. 1265-1321)
Reward we deserve…
For our sake Christ offered himself to the Father upon the altar for the cross. He now looks down from heaven on our actions and secret thoughts, and one day he will give each of us the reward his deeds deserve.
–Saint Thomas Becket (c, 1118-1170)
Relying on mercy, continue in sin…
Some people understand the charity of our Lord and are saved by it; others, relying on this mercy and kindness, continue in their sins, thinking that it may be theirs whenever they wish. But this is not so, for then they are too late and are taken in their sins before they expect it, and so damn themselves.
–Walter Hilton (1340-1396)
God has given free will…
Exercise pleasantness toward all, taking great care what you have commanded may never be done by reason of force. For God has given free will to everyone, and therefore never forces anyone – but only indicates, call and persuades.
–Saint Angela Merici (1474-1540)
