If God in His wrath seems to burn and chastise without regard to merit, if He suffers the innocent to be slain, what will He do to the guilty? I die of my own free will in the fulfillment of my task. The end of that task will be a glorious one, and there is no need to weep over a hero who in three days will taste the fruits of His victory. But weep, by all means weep, for yourselves, you who are mothers of deicides; weep for your children who are sneering on the brink of doom.
