Devotion of the day: managing time well

Because time flies. You know it and you touch it with your hand, how short the days of man are: the night presses the day, the evening presses the morning! And the hours you hoped for, the days, the years, where are they? Today you have time to convert, to practice virtue, to attend church, to multiply good works; today you have time to get yourself a little crown for Heaven ... and what are you doing? Wait time ..,; but in the meantime the merit was not acquired, the hands are empty! Death comes, and are you still waiting?

Because time betrays. Examine the years ago, the resolutions made ... How many projects you had formed for this year, for this month! But time has betrayed you, and what did you do? Nothing. While you have time, don't wait for time. Do not say tomorrow, do not say at Easter, or next year, do not say in old age, or before I die, I will do, I will think, I will fix ... Time betrays, and in the hour, not thought of by us, time fails! It's up to you to think about it and provide it ...

Because time never comes back. Therefore the lost time is lost forever!… Therefore, all good works omitted, all acts of virtue omitted, are lost merits, and lost forever! In any case, time never returns. But how? Is life so short to make the Heavenly Crown, and we throw away so much time like we have too much ?! At death, yes, we will repent! Soul! Now that you have time, don't wait for time!

PRACTICE. - Today, do not waste time: if your life needs reform, do not wait for tomorrow.
