“We do not want our children fearing death. We must speak of it as a part of our life – the threshold of a heavenly life, a stepping stone to our eternal life with Christ, the saints and the angels. Sometimes there are children who so much want to go to heaven…but we should explain that death is only a blessing if we leave from this world at the time God calls us, because He only knows when we are ready. We do not travel to heaven unless He first sends us the ticket”
(Nun Magdalene in mystagogy weblog)
