"What do the pleasures of this world amount to? What is not eternal is worth nothing. Those who allow their passions to rule them, overtaken by death and buried in the eternal flames of hell will shriek in tears: 'Fools that we were and how dreadfully wrong!'" "Remember that at the hour of death we shall reap what we have sown in life. If we have done good works, we will be happy. Death will be a blessing because it will usher us into Paradise. Otherwise, woe to us! Remorse of conscience and the open jaws of hell will await us. 'What a man sows, that he will also reap.' (Galatians 6:8)" "God is a good Father and is deeply grieved when He has to condemn
anyone to hell. We were doomed, and Jesus died to save us. Do we, then,
still want to offend Him?"

"If
God should call upon you to leave the world, obey Him without delay. Whatever
you do to avoid an eternity of suffering is well worth the trouble. As
St. Bernard says, 'One can never be overcautious when eternity is at stake.'
How many have forsaken the world in the full flower of youth, leaving
country and family, to shut themselves up in caves and deserts, living
only on bread and water, or sometimes only herbs? All this to avoid the
fire of hell. What about you?"
