This experience was told by a Philippine man who travels internationally and who gives talks on the Divine Mercy.
One time I went to Europe. My flight is Cebu-Hongkong, Hongkong-London. [Cebu is in the Philippines.] And then between Hongkong-London, the airplane was depressurized, and suddenly it nosedived. All thet passengers were crying,shouting, calling on the name of the Lord. It was only me who was not crying. I observed all of them one by one.
And then seated near me was a priest and a nun. They were also crying, calling the name of the Lord. Especially the nun, who was very nervous and was holding a big rosary. She was moving so much that one time our eyes met and when her eyes met, I smiled at her, and when I smiled at her, she suddenly got so mad. Her face was frowning and she looked disfigured. She was so mad that even her eyes seemed to burst because of anger until the airplane was normalized. And when the airplane was normalized, the nun suddenly stood up, removed her seat belt and walked irritatingly towards me and when she was in front of me, she suddenly shouted at me and said, “Why are you not praying? Are you not afraid to die?’ So I told me, “Why should I? I am already ready.” And then I continued, “You know what you are doing? That is also written in the Bible.” Jesus said, “One day, some day, so many will be calling on my name, crying, shouting, calling my name but I cannot hear them any more.” You know why? Because you are calling the name of the Lord not because you love Him but because you are afraid to die.” And she could not answer. Slowly, she bent her head as if one paid of ice water was being poured on her and she went back to her seat. It means she is not yet ready to die.
And because she shouted at me, all the passengers looked at me and when I looked back at them they also bent their heads meaning, they too are not yet ready to die. What happens if a person is not ready to die? If there are calamities, they will cry and shout and call on the name of the Lord. But if a person is ready he will welcome the Lord.(Stanley C. Villavicencio, “His Personal Encounter with Jesus Christ of the Divine Mercy,” p. 52-3)
