Quote of the day - Saint Thomas Aquinas.
"Gregory says (Moral. xxxiv, 19): 'There is the same reason for not praying then (namely after the judgment day) for men condemned to the everlasting fire, as there is now for not praying for the devil and his angels who are sentenced to eternal punishment, and for this reason the saints pray not for dead unbelieving and wicked men, because, forsooth, knowing them to be already condemned to eternal punishment, they shrink from pleading for them by the merit of their prayers.'"
