Prayerful Thought from St Ignatius

Do not let the short period of time that you have left pass you by without fruit. In our final moments, you may find, when you would give all that you have and all that the world is worth to have an hour in which to be sorry for your sins and to do some good, that that hour may not be given you if now, in the time allotted you through God's wisdom, you refuse to take advantage of it and help yourself.

[Monumenta Ignatiana: Epistolae et Instructiones 9:310]
