Excerpt from The Blessed Sacrament: Preparation, Attendance, Giving of Thanks, Spiritual Communion, Drawn From the Writings of the Saints
We have about us, or, to speak more truly, we are ourselves, immortal souls. We are beings who have once been born, but who now can never die. We came out of nothing, but we cannot go into nothing again; - O God forbid, the merciful great God forbid, we should pass into nothing I When they who have led lives of pleasure, of covetousness, of self-willed sin - when such, say, come to lie upon their death - beds, they may perhaps feel that awful, impossible wish that they could pass into nothing: for to be nothing were better than to be in the strong gripe of Satan, amid the intolerable heats of hell.
