cross, who, from having been unchaste
becomes chaste; from having been
immoderate becomes temperate; from having
been weak and timid becomes strong and

Powerful and frightening to watch,
the tribunal stood before me, as Christ had
bid me to go with him. Sitting in the
audience, we were watching the judgment of
the soul who had tried to overtake me. In a
grave position, the one who had tried to
crush me had violated eternal law. There
was no vengeance towards him; his actions
were simply not to be tolerated. Now he
would face the consequence of the
intentional misuse of power. Quickly, I
ascertained that the fate of those who came
before this tribunal was greatly determined
by their intent and remorse. There was no
remorse here.
