Pause and reflect, for the day of death is approaching. I beg you,
therefore, with all possible respect, not to forget the Lord or turn away from
His commandments by reason of the cares and preoccupations of this world, for
all those who are oblivious of Him and turn away from His commands are cursed
and will be totally forgotten by Him (Ex. 33:13). And when the day of death
does come, everything which they think they have will be taken from them. And
the wiser and more powerful they may have been in this world, so much greater
will be the punishments they will endure in hell (cf. Wis. 6:7).
Saint Francis of Assisi
