Ave Maria Meditations
But the souls of the just are in the hand of God and no torment
shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be
dead and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they
are in peace…chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed
because God tried them and found them worthy of Himself.
(Wisdom, chapter 3)
