“... a just man is not frightened by the sight of death... The just man knows that he is not made for this world nor this world for him... Is it not insanity to grieve over goods which must perish? Or for honors which must lose all value? Or for pleasures which carry such bitterness and disgust? No, the just man is not troubled like the wicked Baltasar (Dan. 5:6) on hearing the sentence of his death. Nor does he rave like the proud Nabuchodonosor. (Dan. 4:27-30). Nor does he become spiteful like the impious Antiochus. (2 Mach. 9:4)... he who already has wept over his sins, can insult satan with the words of Saint Martin — “What are you doing here, you fiendish beast? I have already confessed all my sins. I have put my affairs in order. You will not find in me anything that you can accuse me of.”” (The Golden Key of Heaven, Meditation 12, On Death, pg. 127-128)
