On the first night of a recent
pilgrimage to several Canadian Marian Shrines, the homilist at the evening Mass
recommended to all those who desired to become holy and to spend eternity in
God’s Presence to begin each day as follows:
Begin
each day as if, upon awakening, God told you this would be your last day on
earth and that He would come to get you at midnight. Welcome that news. Then live your life that day
as if was in fact the last day of your earthly life – forgive, love and
repent.
Do this exercise every
day for at least two weeks, Father suggested, and you will become holier and
closer to God.
Willing
to give it a shot?
