Divine love Quote by Joseph Pohle

““St. Chrysostom says: "What is worse than hell? But nothing is more profitable than the fear thereof. For the fear of hell ob tains for us the crown of Heaven. 13 ... If fear were not a good thing, Christ would not have de livered numerous and lengthy discourses on the future punishment and torments/' 14 St. Augus tine, in particular, was a herald, as of divine love, so likewise of the fear of God. "This fear," he says in his homilies on the Psalms, "is not yet chaste. . . . He fears punishments. Whatever good he does, he does out of fear, moved not by fear of losing good, but by fear of suffering evil. He does not fear to lose the affection of the most beautiful Spouse, but he fears to be cast into hell. This fear is good and useful." 15””

“minister begins with an actual intention, but is distracted while administering the Sacrament, he has a virtual in tention.

“The confectio of a Sacrament, i. e. the combina tion of matter and form into the sacramental sign, is not necessarily of itself a sacramental act, but indifferent and ambiguous, inasmuch as the minister, being a free agent, may act with any one of a number of different purposes, e. g., to practice, to play a joke, to make a…
