Realizing he was about to die, David was terrified. There had always been time, but no longer. He’d put off Confession, and now, unable to speak, he was about to pay the awful price.
He’d begged God’s forgiveness, but he’d also been taught mortal sins must be confessed properly. He was so ashamed, though, that he’d never been able to speak to anyone about his violations, not even a priest.
Now everything was dark. He wanted to scream. Then everything was light, and he felt someone embrace him and say in a voice so warm, “Welcome, David. I love you.”
