These quoted words perfectly embody St. John’s lifelong devotion. He awaits the coming of the Lord with sincere eagerness, viewing death as the gateway to eternal bliss. His faith remains unwavering till the end. The whole passage draws a full close to his life: a man who renounced worldly affection, devoted himself entirely to religious missions, and faced death peacefully with pious belief. It forms a solemn and dignified ending for this character.
