An admission that one is going to die soon, usually from a terminal illness or dangerous situation.

A reference to the Christian angel St. Peter, who guards the Gates of Heaven and determines whether one goes to Heaven or Hell. St. Peter calling your name would imply that it is your turn to be judged, which means you must be dead. Thus, admitting that he is “calling your name” makes it seem that a nearing death is inevitable.
Mom,

Thanks for being the greatest mother ever. I would love to tell you in person, but it seems that St. Peter’s calling my name. I wish this could’ve happened differently, but there’s nothing we can do about it now.

Love,
John
