We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

You and I can never imagine all the depths of hell. Shut out from us by a black veil of darkness, we cannot tell the horrors of that dismal dungeon of lost souls. Happily, the wailings of the damned have never startled us, for a thousand tempests were but a maidens whisper, compared with one wail of a damned spirit. It is not possible for us to see the tortures of those souls who dwell eternally within an anguish that knows no alleviation. These eyes would become sightless balls of darkness if they were permitted for an instant to look into that ghastly shrine of torment. Hell is horrible, for we may say of it, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive the horrors which God hath prepared for them that hate Him.
C.H. Spurgeon

Afraid? Of what? To feel the spirit's glad release? To pass from pain to perfect peace. The strife and strain of life to cease? Afraid – of that (E.H. Hamilton)?

    IMPEDIMENTS TO MARRIAGE

    BASIC R.C. BELIEF Diriment impediments are those that render a marriage null and void. They are: solemn vow of chastity, close blood relationship, some adoptions, spiritual relationship (godparent or baptizer), bigamy, extreme youth, impotence or marriage by violence.

    These differ from hindering impediments, which make a marriage lawful but invalid, i.e., simple vows of virginity, mixed religion or relationship through adoption.

    POST VATICAN II The laws concerning impediments are constantly under review and subject to change; their application also varies from place to place.
