Karl Rahner says that his fantasy of our judgment by God after death, is that the agent of that judgment will not so much be God’s light as it will be God’s love. For Rahner, the idea is not so much that we will be standing in an unrelenting light that sears and pierces through us, but rather that we will be embraced by a love so unconditional, so understanding, and so gracious, that, inside that, we will know instantly all that’s selfish and impure inside us even as we know all that’s pure and selfless.
