God does not expect us to submit our faith to him without reason, but the very limits of our reason make faith a necessity.
Saint AugustineIn what is necessary, unity; in what is not necessary, liberty and in all things charity.

Saint AugustineMen go forth to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the ocean, the course of the stars-and forget to wonder at themselves. Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.

But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment.
