Devotion of the day: being judged by God

Accounting for Evil. Shortly thereafter, you will have to present yourself before the Supreme Judge; do you hope to see him in an attitude of pity, of goodness, or with the look of severe justice? The life you lead, will your daily actions be pleasing to Him? - I will realize all the evil that I should not have done, and I did too .. What confusion will be mine! How many sins in every age, in every day! Not a thought, a word, will be forgotten in the Judgment!

Statement of assets. After so many sins that bother your conscience, it seems to you that you have little to fear, because you pray, you approach the Sacraments, you have some practice of piety, you give alms… But what are these few things compared to the many and serious sins? Moreover: with what imperfections, vanities, crooked intentions do you accompany the good you are counting on? Now realize it! On the contrary: how much good you could have done and you did not do it only for your negligence. Take it into account ...

Report of the time. If I had lived a few years, if I had lacked time, I would find some excuse and excuse before the Judge. Instead, one day was enough to convert: and I, with years and years of life, did not convert! A year was enough to become a saint, and I have not made myself such in 10, 30, 50 years ... It took a moment to resolve myself to begin: and I neglected it! ... What sentence will I have? - Don't you think about it?

PRACTICE. - Cut off bad habits immediately, recite the Litany of Our Lady.
