"When you approach your bed to sleep, say to it: ‘Bed, perhaps this night you may become a grave for me, and I do not know if instead of the temporary sleep that eternal sleep comes to me this night’. Therefore, as long as you have free legs run after the good work before they are tied by that bond that is impossible to be untied. As long as you have fingers, cross yourself in prayer before death comes. As long as you have eyes fill them with tears before they are covered by dust( ... ). Remember, O man, your departure from here and always say: ‘Behold, the appointed angel has arrived at the door and will follow after me. Why do I tarry? There is an eternal journey that has no return’."St. Isaac the Syrian
