[QUOTE="Philokalia"]I guess the same goes for me, but if I die young I'd just assume that God knows I meant to repent when I was older...No as I have not had enough time to repent.

I remember a quote about an Abbot in a monstary who was dying and he witnessed a cloud of witnesses ministering to him and angels coming to collect him and he was begging of the angels something. When the novices asked him what he was asking and he said he was asking for more time to repent. The Novices corrected him and said that he was the most perfect among them in repentance. To which the Abbot responded "I Truely do not know if I have begun to repent as of yet."
