Aquinas on the sin of rash judgment

Post by Denise » Fri Sep 30, 2022 9:07 am

Christ our Lord “forbids rash judgment which is about the inward intention, or other uncertain things, as Augustine states… Or again according to Chrysostom, He forbids the judgment which proceeds not from benevolence but from bitterness of heart.”

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

yes indeed

one must practise listening with the "ears of the heart" - a Benedictine reality.
