Spiritual Fruit: Desire for Holiness
Thanks grey whiskers - This is a wonderful meditation that you shared. The modern world does not spend enough time reflecting properly on the Four Last Things (Death Judgment Hell and Heaven).
St. Robert Bellarmine in his Meditation on Hell also touches on these point that you have reflected on.
Beautifully said, dear brother in Christ! Thank you so very much for sharing your reflections.
