There are two moments in life which are everything, and these are the present moment, when we are free to choose what we would be, and the moment of death, when we have no longer any choice and when the decision belongs to God. If the present moment is good, death will be good; if we are now with God — in this present which is ceaselessly being renewed but which remains always this one and only moment of actuality — God will be with us at the moment of our death. The remembrance of God is a death in life; it will be a life in death.
