Most Christians forget the one truth Jesus never allows His disciples to ignore: you will die, and you do not know when.

Forgetting this breeds the very diseases Christ condemns-sloth, delay, complacency, and the soft indifference that numbs the soul. Scripture calls such a life foolishness. The saints call it sleep.

Memento Mori is a summons back to the wisdom we have lost. Drawing from the Psalms, the Desert Fathers, the warnings of the Lord, and the Bridegroom theology of the early Church, this book exposes the spiritual cost of ignoring our mortality and the freedom that comes from remembering it.

To remember death is not morbid. It is Christian. It is the discipline that awakens vigilance, purifies love, strengthens repentance, and prepares the heart for the moment every story reaches its truth: the face of Christ.

This book argues one simple, life-altering claim:

To remember one's death is to rediscover the Christian life itself.

Those who live in this remembrance become sober, wise, detached, and ready for love-like the wise virgins whose lamps never run dry. Memento mori forms the bride who lives awake, longing for the Bridegroom who comes suddenly, mercifully, and in glory.

Live as if you will see Him soon-because you will.
