When once I asked the Lord Jesus
how He could tolerate so many sins and crimes
and not punish them, the Lord answered me,
"I have eternity for punishing these, and so
I am prolonging the time of mercy
for the sake of sinners.
But woe to them if they do not recognize
this time of My visitation."(1160)

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
This is one that is hard for me to remember. I really see with the eyes of "now". I see how people are suffering now. How they are being unjustly killed or abused now. And I often cry out to God asking why aren't the horrors of the world stopping NOW. I forget that the suffering will have eternity to rejoice and those who do not repent will have quite the opposite, also for eternity.
