The last word, here as well, will go to the saints. Regardless of whether they think that there are or are not men in hell, the thought of that possibility remains unbearable to them: “If we see someone, especially someone who is our friend, in desperate straits or in great suffering, then we are overcome, apparently as a natural reaction, by compassion, and if his pains are severe, then we feel them most vividly. But to see a soul condemned for all eternity to the torment of all torments: who could bear such a thing?” (Teresa of Avila). 18 May we therefore pray the Church’s prayer of hope: “Lord Jesus Christ, to save all mankind you stretched out your arms on the Cross. Let our work be pleasing to you and proclaim your salvation to the world.” 19
