Here are the encouraging words of Dominican theologian Blessed Henry Suso:

“We may conclude that persons who suffer from scruples are the most favored by divine love, and the most certain of reaching Heaven when they bear this trial in patience and humility. Scrupulous souls die continually, they suffer a continual purgatory, and so they leave the earth to fly to Heaven purified and free from sins to expiate.”
