Feast of All Souls
In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign — that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality. … St. Hilary (d.367?), On the Trinity
