Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?
Recordare, Iesu pie, Quod sum causa tuae viae: Ne me perdas illa die...

Stay awake!

For you do not know
on which day your Lord will come.

Be sure of this:
if the master of the house
had known the hour of night
when the thief was coming,
he would have stayed awake
and not let his house be broken into.

So too, you also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect,
the Son of Man will come.

(from today's Gospel - Matthew 24:42-51)

Remember also,
you could die tomorrow
or even before you take your next breath.

(Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God, have mercy on me - a sinner)
