Whether you live five years or one hundred and five years, it does not matter.
All that matters is the health of the soul. Happy are those who deal with their illness with repentance. Whether they live or not, their soul will be ready.
The Lord is waiting. He awaits every soul at the well of Jacob, no matter how sinful it is. He is ready to empty the cloudy water of our soul through our confession and fill it with crystal clear water so that it will never be thirst again in the Eternal Life.
Elder Eusebios Giannakakis
