Justin Marytr 9) “Alas! I could not bear the sight of them. On the contrary, he would take every means to control himself and to adorn himself in virtue, so that he might obtain the good gifts of God and escape the punishments.” Indeed, if all men recognized this, no one would choose evil even for a short time, knowing that he would incur the eternal sentence of fire. Every man will receive the eternal punishment or reward which his actions deserve. Ignatius of Loyola 8) “No more is it possible for the evildoer, the avaricious, and the treacherous to hide from God than it is for the virtuous.
Imagine the worst you can, and then say, ‘All this is nothing compared to hell.'” Sulphur, devils, dragons, fire, swords, arrows, and innumerable damned who roar in despair. Ephrem of Syria 7) “Let us fancy we see hell, and imagine what is worst to behold – a horrible cavern full of black flames. Cyprian of Carthage 6) “Alas! Of what kind is that place of wailing and of gnashing of teeth… at which even Satan shudders? O Woe! What kind of place is it, where the unsleeping worm dies not? What dread misery to be sent into outer darkness? Of what kind of angels placed over these torments, who pitiless and frightful, punish by casting in there, while at the same time the reproach most grievously? Then shall those already in the midst of the torments cry out with pleading voices, and there will be no one to speak for them to the Lord, and they shall not be heard.”
Anthony Mary Claret 5) “The wicked bodies of the condemned shall simmer and blaze in those living fires.” Yet this is not even a shadow of the fire of Hell.” Alphonsus Maria de Liguori 4) “The natural fire that we see during this life has great power to burn and torment. Catherine of Siena 3) “Poor Judas! Above seventeen hundred years have elapsed since he has been in Hell, and his Hell is still only beginning.” Had poor mortals the faintest idea of them, they would suffer a thousand deaths rather than undergo the least of their torments during a single day.” Bernard 2) “I saw the torments of hell and those of purgatory no words can describe them. Here are 10 quotes from the saints about this real place of punishment: 1) “I am filled with fear and trembling, and all my bones are shaken at the thought of that unhappy country of the damned.” So repent! And spread the Gospel of salvation in Christ to your neighbors. Yes, we should choose God out of love, but the Church has always taught that the threat of eternal punishment can have a very salutary effect on leading people away from sin and toward God. If we die in mortal or Original sin, then we go straight away to hell for all eternity, with no hope for redemption. If we die in Christ, we’ll go to heaven (with perhaps a temporary period of cleansing in Purgatory first). You don’t want to go there!Īll of us will eventually die and face judgement before God.
