We can reasonably hope for a happy ending if our lives are marked with peace and faith.
If we have been mean and critical in life, you can safely bet that meanness and harshness will surround the deathbed.
Consider all the possible ways, of course, without getting melodramatic and with dread heading for nightmares. Here’s a thought: Do you know how you will die? Think just for a second. You know what’s coming and who’s going to be there. The parable attempts to unlock a kind of sobering “wake-up call” sent out to every listener of every age and culture. It was all coming to an end, just like life. This is what both the wise and foolish examples we encountered today realized with sobering results. Five of them were foolish and five were wise.” If we just removed the business-savvy aspect of this parable for a moment, we might be able to unlock what is truly worthwhile and useful for each of us on our journey toward our home in Heaven. “The Kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. One thing only I ask you, that you remember me at the altar of the Lord wherever you may be.” St. “Bury my body wherever you will let not care of it cause you any concern. Jesus is the Light of the World and can and does illuminate every dark crevice in our lives, now and at the hour of death. Keep remembering those you love and those you have lost, no matter what the situation or how dark things may seem. Jesus made this crystal clear: “For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” Today on the special day of Saint Monica, let us renew our hopes and dreams to never lose heart in praying for everything we see that we need. Our prayers are definitely answered, making us even more enthused and desirous of continuing their mandate to Heaven, to our loving God who cares for us so much and is always reaching out to us with inspiration and strength. Those who are constantly praying for others can relate to the joy and peace that is given that their prayers are not only being heard but are also answered within the Divine Providence that exists in Heaven as it does here on earth. Sometimes we think only of the glorious, apparently worry-free, and sparsely inhabited areas of problems when we think of saintly life, but actually ordinary people became great saints precisely because of their suffering and their never-ending desire to pray and life to God those they have loved and wanted as a heavenly destination. Monica, who prayed incessantly for her wayward son, who would become one of the greatest Saints, writers, and examples of complete and remarkable conversion (St. These provide great moments of inspiration and deep calls for prayer and solidarity.
And within that stipulation, many suffer for the Church, in the Church, and for what is just and right. There is not one human being who can escape that category of experience while walking any number of years on this earth. “He will keep you firm to the end, irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” One thing is for certain: everyone suffers.
