From the Apophthegmata Patrum

An old man said, “If it were possible, at the time of the coming of Christ after the Resurrection, that men’s souls should die of fear, the whole world would die of terror and confusion.  What a sight, to see the heavens open and God revealed in anger and wrath, and innumerable armies of angels and, at the same time, the whole of humanity.  Therefore, we ought to live as having to give account to God of our way of life every day.“
