DEATH
DEATH IS
INEVITABLE
God
so willed it that our end should be hidden from us, that, whereas we are
uncertain when we may die, we may always be found ready for death.
Death
is inevitable, though no man wishes it. It is hard necessity not to wish
that which we cannot avoid. If it were possible, we are all unwilling to
die; we might even wish to be transformed immediately into angels without
having to pass death. And yet, necessity demands that we should die. Why
avoid it when Christ, Himself, passed through it?
St.
Augustine
(11-15-02)
