Today we are and tomorrow we are gone. When we are taken out of sight, soon we pass out of mind as well. Hence, we ought to master ourselves in every act and thought as if we were to die today. If we have a good conscience, we would not fear death so much, If you are not prepared today, how will you be ready tomorrow? Tomorrow is an uncertainty and how do you know if tomorrow ever come?
What good is it to live long when we improve so little. A long life that does not make us a e better person often adds to our problems. Would that we could spend even one day well in this world?Many people are afraid to die but yet make no attempts to change their lives.
Blessed is the person who always has the hour of death before his eyes and who is daily prepared to die. Always be ready and live authentically so that death may never find you unprepared. Many people die suddenly and unexpectedly for no one knows when that final hour will come. When that final hour does come, you will begin to think quite differently about all your part life and you will be exceedingly sorry that you were so heartless, unkind and remiss.
How happy and wise is that person who strives now to be in life what he wished to be found in death. He will die happily if has lived for God and not for himself with a burning desire to advance in virtue, love of discipline, spirit of penance, self denial and the strength to bear any hardhip for the love of God. Strive to live in such a way that in the hour of death, you may rejoice rather than fear.
