On Retribution
God gives His
communion to all who love Him. Communion with God is life and light and
sweetness with all the good things that He has. But those who of their own will
forsake him he rewards with separation from Him, which they themselves have
chosen. As separation from light is darkness, so also alienation from God is
deprivation of all good things which He has. But the good things of God are
eternal and without end, so that the loss of them is eternal and without end.
Thus sinners shall be the cause of their own torments, just as the blind do not
see the light, although it is shining on them.
