The sinister, the terrible never deceive: the state in which they leave us is always one of enlightenment.

AugustineThe wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. To love with sternness is better than to deceive with gentleness.... In Luke [14:23] it is written: Compel people to come in! By threats of the wrath of God, the Father draws souls to his Son.
Saint Augustine
Image
