(Eph. 1, 16–23; Luke 12, 32–40) “Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning” (Luke 12:35). You must be prepared at every hour: not to know when the Lord will come either for the final judgment, or to take you away from here, which is all the same for you. Death decides everything; behind her is the result of life; and whatever you acquire, be content with it for all eternity. If you have acquired good things, your lot will be good; evil is evil. This is as true as it is true that you exist. And all this can be decided this very minute - right at this very moment in which you are reading these lines, and then - it’s all over: a seal will be placed on your being, which no one can remove. There is something to think about!.. But one cannot be surprised at how little one thinks about it. What a mystery is happening over us! We all know that death is just around the corner, that it cannot be avoided, and yet almost no one thinks about it at all; and she will come suddenly and grab you. And what’s more... even when a mortal illness seizes you, you still don’t think that the end has come. Let psychologists from the scientific side decide this; From a moral point of view, one cannot help but see here an incomprehensible self-delusion, alien only to those who pay attention to themselves.
