It is better for me to die in (eis) Christ Jesus than to reign over the ends of the earth. Him it is I seek-who died for us. Him it is I desire-who rose for us. I am on the point of giving birth.... Let me receive pure light; when I shall have arrived there, then shall I be a man.
My earthly desire has been crucified;... there is living water in me, water that murmurs and says within me: Come to the Father.
I want to see God and, in order to see him, I must die.
I am not dying; I am entering life.
Lord, for your faithful people life is changed, not ended.When the body of our earthly dwelling lies in death we gain an everlasting dwelling place in heaven.
Every action of yours, every thought, should be those of one who expects to die before the day is out. Death would have no great terrors for you if you had a quiet conscience.... Then why not keep clear of sin instead of running away from death? If you aren't fit to face death today, it's very unlikely you will be tomorrow....
Praised are you, my Lord, for our sister bodily Death,from whom no living man can escape.Woe on those who will die in mortal sin!Blessed are they who will be found in your most holy will,for the second death will not harm them.
