Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-July 19

THE judgement sat and the books were opened. There will be two books, the Gospel and the conscience. In the Gospel will be read what the accused should have done, and in his conscience what he has done. In the balance of divine justice, not riches, nor dignities, nor nobility, but works alone will have weight.
