Scripture, Reflection & Prayer for Tuesday, May 24, 2011

Death seems like th enormla end of life. That aspect of death lends urgency to our lives: remembering our mortality helps us to realize that we have only a limited time in which to bring our lives to fulfillment.
- CCC No. 1007


Reflection: To honestly accept the fact that our days are numbered: to think about the date on which you will no longer be living; to wrestle with the reality of death, judgment, heaven, and hell is an extremely practical way to live.


Prayer: Lord, help us to face how fragile and finite our life really is.
