Be crucified, but do not crucify others.
Be slandered, but do not slander others.
Exult with those who repent.
God is not One who requites evil, but who sets evil right.
That is what the torment of hell is in my opinion: remorse. But love inebriates the souls of the sons and daughters of heaven by its delectability.
Repentance is given us as grace after grace, for repentance is a second regeneration by God. That of which we have received an earnest by baptism, we receive as a gift by means of repentance. Repentance is the door of mercy, opened to those who seek it. By this door we enter into the mercy of God, and apart from this entrance we shall not find mercy.
God's recompense to sinners is that, instead of a just recompense, God rewards them with resurrection.
