MEDITATION ON THE BEAUTY OF DEATH

As a Christian it’s foolish neither to be ready for death nor to accept the truth about that is death. We will all die me today you tomorrow. What then? In ‘the imitation of Christ’ Kempis writes of death. “If it is so terrifying to die, it is nevertheless possible that to live longer is more dangerous. Blessed is he who keeps the moment of death ever before his eyes and prepares for it every day.”
If you have ever seen a man die, remember that you, too, must go the same way. In the morning consider that you may not live till evening, and when evening comes do not dare to promise yourself the dawn. Be always ready, therefore, and so live that death will never take you unprepared. ”

It is better to avoid sin than to fear death period. Postponing our preparation for death is worse than being scared of death since we totally have no clue about the day and time therefore my friends think about your moment of death and pray that the Good Lord will find you ready, willing and worthy of Eternal life.
