The Anchoress gave new hope for Judgment Day saying:
Well…be not afraid. If that day comes, everyone else will be looking at the records of their own lives being exposed. It may well have the effect of bringing us – finally – together, as we realize that we are all faulty, flawed, capable of great good and great evil, creatures of lightness and dark. It will emphasize that “none are perfect save Christ.” Remember what Michel Montaigne said:
There is no man so good, who, were he to submit all his thoughts and actions to the laws would not deserve hanging ten times in his life.
Phew!!!!!!!!!!…… It’s great to imagine everyone being so distracted.
I heard one rendition of the Day in which everyone is trying to outdo each other with the greatness of God’s Mercy for what He’d forgiven them. Actually, I remember some prayer meetings which made me feel as though no one would be interested in my story after hearing the soul-curdling tales of conversion of some of our bunch.
