Summary

This quote suggests that in order for the saints to fully appreciate their own blessings and God's grace, they are allowed to witness the suffering and punishment of the damned in hell. By seeing the consequences of sinful actions and the contrast between their heavenly state and the damned's plight, the saints are provided with a deeper understanding and gratitude for their own salvation. This knowledge enhances their experience of beatitude and amplifies the abundance of God's grace in their lives.
