Revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden Book 1: Chapter 13: The second are those who believe me to be God almighty and a strict judge, and these serve me because of fear of punishment but not out of love for the heavenly glory. If they were not afraid of suffering, they would not serve me. The ones who belong to the second kind shall not be punished and tormented as much, but will still be unable to see my face, unless he corrects his fear through penitence and amendment.

What does it mean to see God’s face? How can one correct a fear through penitence and amendment? Won’t it still exist? :confused:

Well, you can see our LORD’s face, if you are in Heaven beside HIM and being comforted by HIM. In Purgatory or elsewhere, you would not see HIM.

Penance changes your life, and makes you more able to receive the Holy Spirit. In time, doing enough penance, your fear would change to something better.
