Today's entrance antiphon contains the verse Psalms 13:4b. It reads "Give light to my eyes lest I fall asleep in death." Here I don't think "fall asleep in death" means "die in sleep"—nevertheless, I can't help thinking that dying in sleep could happen to anyone and it's something we need to be ready for. It is OK so long as it's not dying in sin. To prevent that, we need to be a state of grace always. If there is one mortal sin you haven't confessed yet, that'll prevent you from entering heaven forever. To take God seriously is to take all your sins seriously too.
