Divine Justice Quotes

• Through me the way into the suffering city, Through me the way to the eternal pain, Through me the way that runs among the lost. Justice urged on my high artificer; My maker was divine authority, The highest wisdom, and the primal love. Before me nothing but eternal things were made, And I endure eternally. Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.

  Dante Alighieri

  Running, Religious, Pain

• There are three things that earthly riches can never do; they can never satisfy divine justice, they can never pacify divine wrath, nor can they every quiet a guilty conscience. And till these things are done man is undone.

• Human justice is very prolix, and yet at times quite mediocre; divine justice is more concise and needs no information from the prosecution, no legal papers, no interrogation of witnesses, but makes the guilty one his own informer and helps him with eternity's memory.

• Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales. Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the constant omission of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.

• If God has laid your sins upon the Son of His love, you may rest assured that He will never lay them a second time upon you; since, if Christ has borne them and atoned for them to Divine justice, they never again can be found.

  Love You, Son, May

• Tengamos compasión de los castigados. Ay, ¿quiénes somos nosotros? ¿Quién soy yo y quién eres tú? ¿De dónde venimos y es seguro que no hicimos nada antes de nacer? Esta tierra no deja de parecerse a una cárcel. ¿Quién sabe si no que el hombre es víctima de la justicia divina? Fíjate bien en la vida. Está constituida de tal manera que se percibe el castigo en todas partes.

  Victor Hugo

• Civilisation needs more than the law to hold it together. You see, all mankind are not equally willing to accept as divine justice what is called human law.

• Divine Justice demands that the rights of both sexes should be equally respected since neither is superior to the other in the eyes of Heaven. Dignity before God depends, not on sex, but on purity and luminosity of heart. Human virtues belong equally to all!

• God in his infinite mercy has devised a way by which justice can be satisfied, and yet mercy can be triumphant. Jesus Christ, the only begotten of the Father, took upon himself the form of man, and offered unto Divine Justice that which was accepted as an equivalent for the punishment due to all his people.

• He was expressing his certainty that my appeal would be granted, but I was carrying the burden of a sin from which I had to free myself. According to him, human justice was nothing and divine justice was everything. I pointed out it was the former that had condemned me.

• La observancia de la Cuaresma es la insignia misma de la guerra cristiana. Con ella demostramos que no somos enemigos de Cristo. Con ella evitamos los azotes de la justicia divina. Por ella ganamos fuerza contra los príncipes de las tinieblas, porque nos protege con la ayuda celestial. Si los hombres fueran negligentes en la observancia de la Cuaresma, sería un detrimento para la gloria de Dios, una deshonra para la religión católica y un peligro para las almas cristianas. Tampoco puede dudarse de que tal negligencia se convertiría en fuente de miseria para el mundo, de calamidad pública y de aflicción privada.

  Papa Benedicto XIV

• At present we can only reason of the divine justice from what we know of justice in man. When we are in other scenes, we may have truer and nobler ideas of it; but while we are in this life, we can only speak from the volume that is laid open before us.

• If our spiritual past is somber and painful, let us try to simplify it, by acquiring true dedications that will assist us through the harsh climb of redemption. If we do not, today, have a determined bond with the wealth of injustice, we had it yesterday, and it becomes indispensable that we take advantage of time for our own individual readjustment before the Divine Justice.

  Chico Xavier

• If some day they take the radio station away from us, if they close down our newspaper, if they don’t let us speak, if they kill all the priests and the bishop too, and you are left, a people without priests, each one of you must be God’s microphone, each one of you must be a messenger, a prophet. The church will always exist as long as there is one baptized person. And that one baptized person who is left in the world is responsible before the world for holding aloft the banner of the Lord’s truth and of his divine justice.

  Oscar Romero
