About this Quote

This quote by Peter Lombard speaks of the choose, or those who have been chosen by God, going forth to witness the tortures of the impious. This is not done out of a sense of schadenfreude, however rather out of a sense of pleasure at the sight of the unutterable disaster of the impious. This joy is not a malicious one, but rather a joy that originates from knowing that justice has actually been served and that the impious have actually been punished for their misdeeds. It is a happiness that originates from knowing that the elect have been chosen by God which they have actually been spared from the same fate. This quote functions as a pointer that justice will be served and that those who have done incorrect will be penalized. It also works as a tip that the elect ought to be glad for their true blessings and should not take them for approved.
