God knows what lives in me in place of me.

My life is ending, I know that well, but every day that is left me I feel how my earthly life is in touch with a new infinite, unknown, but approaching life, the nearness of which sets my soul quivering with rapture, my mind glowing and my heart weeping with joy.

The more you succeed in loving, the more you'll be convinced at the existence of God and the immortality of your soul.
