“Do now, do now, what you will wish to have done when your moment

comes to die.”

-St. Angela Merici

Today’s Reflection:

Mentally make a list of those things you will have wished to have done when your moment comes to die. Are there people you will have wished to forgive or from whom you wished to have asked for forgiveness? Are there little niceties and kindnesses you will have wished to have offered? Are there faults and failings, bad habits and weaknesses you would have liked to overcome? Of these, what can I “do now” so I will have no lingering regrets? How will this help my life to be happier for as long as it is mine?
