To death youth know much as the elden men, for death is overcome by neither you nor me, but by those bravehearted who have crossed its hellish gates with fortitude and with faith, humility and love, justice and hope, holiness and grace. 

To think often of death is not the key, but to live so as to be prepared for that day, keeping within the armory of thine soul the habits and the inclinations of the aged and the wise, the acts of those who possess prowess, and the great love of kings towards all, with the acts of those who bear the guilt of all upon their backs, with an eye set on the Father of birth who gives graciously to the souls of his beloved who live and seek life, to conquer and not to die in sin, but in the love of Christ, as a holy king doth die on the ground for his people in victory in the blood of war.
