“The soul, which has the true fear groans saying, ‘I will sing of mercy and justice; to you O lord, I will sing praises. I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me?’ (Ps. 101: 1). She walks in a perfect way, so she does not fear, for love casts out fear. When the Bridegroom comes to her arms, she fears but she feels secure. She fears not to be thrown in Hades, but to be without sin lest her Bridegroom forsakes her.” -St Augustine . . . “There is one who fears lest he is whipped; this is the fear of the slaves.
