“What regret would be yours at the hour of death, should you see yourself deprived of the crown which awaits you if you are faithful in generously following the light that our Lord gives you. And, to tell the truth, you will only find peace and rest when you have sacrificed all for God.”

Mary Margaret (1647-1690) in Life and Writings of St Margaret Mary as recounted in The Quotable Saint, ed. R.E. Guiley (New York, 2002) 233.

Let’s live with no regrets and sacrifice all for God. Except it’s not really a sacrifice because in the words of Paul to the church in Philippi. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain! Philippians 1:21
