Pray that you may always be ready for death, because you know that it may well come at any moment. Mishaps – a fatal fall, a mugging, a drowning, a heart attack, a stroke of lightning, and other things of this kind – occur every day. If we are prepared, we need not fear death, no matter how and when it comes.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Many people in this world do not want to think of death. My sons, keep in mind that whether we think of it or not, death is unavoidable.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Keep ready! One who is not ready for a good death today runs the risk of dying a bad one.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Things look very different when death is near.
— Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
He does much who does little but does well what he has to do.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
