Chapter 6: Through Death I Will Achieve True Life

ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD AND ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THIS EARTH WILL PROFIT ME NOTHING: It is better for me to die for the sake of Jesus Christ than to reign over all the ends of the earth. "For what does a man gain if he wins the whole world but loses his own soul?" I long for the Lord, the Son of the true God and Father, even Jesus Christ. I seek Him, who died for us and rose again. Pardon me, brothers: do not hinder me from attaining life, for Jesus is the life of believers. Do not wish to keep me in a state of death, for life without Christ is death. While I desire to belong to God, do not give me over to the world. Allow me to obtain pure light: when I have gone there, I shall truly be a man of God. Permit me to be an imitator of the passion of Christ, my God. If anyone has Him within themselves, let them consider what I desire, and let them have sympathy with me, knowing how I am constrained.
