El viernes en la noche
The Purpose of Contemplating Hell
The reader is invited to meditate on the pains of hell to deepen their fear of God and hatred of sin.
Today you will meditate on the pains of hell, so that through this meditation—just as through the previous one—your soul may be more firmly confirmed in the fear of God and in the abhorrence of sin that we spoke of there.
