Only A Fool Would Never Ponder Death!

Oh my soul, you must one day part with this body, but when shall that day be?  Shall it be in the winter, or in the summer?  In the city, or in the country?  By day, or by night? Shall it be suddenly, or on notice given you?  Shall you have leisure to make your Confession?  Shall you have the assistance of your spiritual father?  Alas, of all this, you know nothing at all!  Only certain it is that you must die.  In fact, as it almost always happens, much sooner than you imagine. 

St. Frances de Sales

Your Destiny...Your Duty

(Image Source - Wikimedia Commons ) This is the Will of God – your sanctification.  To be a child of Mary means to be a saint.  That is your destiny.  That is your duty.  That is the one work of your life and your life's only work…there is only one sorrow: not to be a saint.  God has willed that you be a saint; has made it the whole purpose of your life, and the only meaning of all your living.  Rev. M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.
