They
Will Die As They Lived
I am also driven to preach without ceasing by the sight of
the throngs of souls who are falling into hell -- for it is of faith that all
who die in mortal sin are damned. It is estimated that about eighty thousand
die each day, and how many of them die in mortal sin and hence are damned? As
the saying goes, "talis vita, finis ita -- your death will be as your life
has been."
And when I see the way people live -- so many of them set in their ways and living in habitual mortal sin; not a day goes by that they do not add to the number of their sins. They sin as easily as they would take a glass of water; they commit iniquities as if it were a joke, for a laugh. They are really tragic figures, marching on their own two feet toward hell. As Zephaniah says, "They shall walk like blind men, for they have sinned against the Lord."
