"... Madman, why do you think not with your mind, but with your belly? Just as the day of your birth was not in your power, so the day of your death is not in your power. The Lord lit the candles of earthly life when it pleased him; Lord will extinguish them when it wants. Just as wealth could not hasten the hour of your coming into the world, so it cannot delay the hour of your departure from the world. Does the rising and setting of the sun depend on you? Doesn’t the blow of the wind also depend on you? The duration of your life on earth also depends on you! to another. All this belongs to Him during your life, and will belong to you after your death. In His hands is your life and your death. Why are you talking about many future years? Your life is calculated down to the minutes. And your last minute may be. counted today. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow: what to eat, what to drink and what to wear; but more, much more, be concerned about the soul with which you will appear before God, your Creator and Master. Seek first the Kingdom of God, for it is the food of your soul (see: Matt. 6, 31-33)."
