St. Alphonsus, How to Converse Continually and Familiarly With God, Ch. 9: “‘Think of the Lord in goodness.’ (Wis. 1:1) The wise man exhorts by these words to have a greater confidence in the Divine mercy than fear of the Divine justice, since God is far more inclined to do good than to chastise. So says St. James: ‘Mercy exalteth itself above judgment.’ (Jas. 2:13). Hence the apostle St. Peter warns us that in the fears we feel for our concerns, be they temporal or eternal, we must abandon ourselves entirely to the good God, who has our Salvation so much at heart: ‘Casting all your care upon Him, for He hath care of you.’ (1 Peter 5:7)” (St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, “How to Converse Continually and Familiarly with God”, translated by Fr. L. X. Aubin, C.SS.R, Ch. 9 )
