Just for Today, July 13

If thou hadst a good conscience, thou wouldst not much fear death.
-Bk. I, ch. xxiii.

"So death will come to fetch you ?"

"No, not death, but God Himself. Death is not the horrible spectre we see represented in pictures. The catechism teaches that death is the separation of the soul from the body; that is all. I am not afraid of a separation which will unite me for ever with God."

-Conseils et Souvenirs.
