Charles JournetWe can say: I am happy that death will one day come to take me. Jesus took it in the hand. Jesus took it by love. How could I not give to it the same act of love? My God, I thank you that I have to die, just so that I can resemble you somewhat. Then, and like that, can death take on its true character.
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891–1975)
