Consoling Thoughts From Father Faber

There is surely not one of us into whose mouth faith does not many times a day put that universal prayer- the prayer of the Pope and the peasant, of the doctor and the scholar, of the rich and the poor, of the religious and the secular, that the Mother of God may assist us in the hour of death. But we must imbed this petition into all our prayers. Let us leave to God, without dictation or even wish, the time, and place, and manner of our death, so only that it be not an unprovided death, and, above all things, not unprovided with Mary.
