Background on Fructuosus of Braga

In his own words on 1 Samuel

  • 1 Samuel 2:10

    For it is written: "He himself shall judge the ends of the earth." The Lord justifies or condemns each person at the end and considers the outcome of all things, so that not even the sinner, if he or she truly repents, need despair of forgiveness, nor should the just person have confidence in his own sanctity.
