“The Judge wishes to have mercy on you and to share his own compassion.… But if he sees your heart unrepentant, your mind proud, your disbelief of the future life and your fearlessness of the judgment, then he desires the judgment for you, just as a reasonable and kind doctor tries at first with hot applications and so…”
Basil of Caesarea, 4th c. — HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 15:3 (PS 33)
