As for certain lesser faults, we must believe that, before the Final Judgment, there is a purifying fire. He who is truth says that whoever utters blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be pardoned neither in this age nor in the age to come. From this sentence, we understand that certain offenses can be forgiven in this age, but certain others in the age to come.
Francis of AssisiHere is one of the best means to acquire humility; fix well in mind this maxim: One is as much as he is in the sight of God, and no more.
Francis of Assisi
