| 0:00.0 | 17th century French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal said that there |
| 0:07.4 | are three types of people in the world. There are those who seek the truth about |
| 0:12.4 | God and find it. These he says are wise and happy. Why is because they need to |
| 0:19.1 | seek happy because they had found. In the second group are those who seek the |
| 0:25.3 | truth about God but have not yet found it. These he says are wise but not yet |
| 0:31.5 | happy and in the third and final group he says there are those who neither seek |
| 0:37.8 | the truth about God nor find it. And of the persons in this category he says |
| 0:44.4 | I have no words to describe so pitiful a creature. The idea is how boring must |
| 0:54.4 | you be to not concern yourself with the tremendous mystery that is around us |
| 0:59.4 | that is us, the mystery of death, the mystery of what comes after death. How is it |

| 1:31.4 | though we could expand that and talk about death, the particular judgment, |
| 1:35.6 | purgatory, heaven, hell and the final judgment. I only have about 20 minutes to |
| 1:40.3 | give this presentation so we're going to go through it rather quickly and then |
| 1:43.7 | at the end what I'm going to do is I'm going to ask for the lights to be lowered |
| 1:46.8 | and lead you in a meditation on death written by Saint Francis DeSales in his |
| 1:52.7 | excellent work Introduction to the Devout Life. Now I haven't had any |
| 1:57.8 | particularly close brushes with death but in March I was speaking in Chicago just |
| 2:05.7 | before COVID hit. I was supposed to go to another location to speak at a men's |
