The man who is perpetually absorbed in this present life, and yet not with eternity, or with death, or with what comes after death, can easily be oblivious of the soul. The rich fool didn’t think of death but thought of a long lifetime ahead of him… the man who walks in the leisure and love of the world sets before his eyes many years ahead, but he who dwells on the salvation of his soul sets continually before his eyes death and the day of judgement. Death reminds us of the account that we shall give, and reminds us that we shall stand before the throne of the just God. – H.H Pope Shenouda . . #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #eternity #watchandpray #justjudge
