7 A Meditation For All Souls By Thomas à Kempis Very soon your life here will end. Consider, then, what may be in store for you elsewhere. Today we live. Tomorrow we die and are quickly forgotten. Oh, the dullness and hardness of a heart that looks only to the present instead of preparing for what is to come! In every deed and every thought, then, act as though you were to die this very day. If you had a good conscience you would not fear death very much. It is better to avoid sin than to fear death. If you are not prepared today, how will you be prepared tomorrow? Tomorrow is an uncertain day. How do you know you will even have a tomorrow? What good is it to live a long life when we amend that life so little? Indeed, a long life does not always benefit us, but on the contrary, frequently adds to our quilt. Would that in this world we had lived well through out one single day. Many count up the years they have spent in religion, but find their lives made little holier. If it is so terrifying to die, it is nevertheless possible that to live longer is more dangerous still. Blessed are those who keep the moment of death ever before their eyes and prepare for it every day. Be Prepared If you have ever seen someone die, remember that you, too, must go the same way. In the morning consider that you may not live till evening, and when evening comes do not dare to promise yourself the dawn. Be always ready, then, and live in such a way that death will never take you unprepared. Many die suddenly and unexpectedly, for in the unexpected hour the Son of God will come (see Mt25:44). When that last moment arrives, you will begin to have a quite different opinion of the life that is now entirely past, and you will regret very much that you were so careless and remiss. Don t put your trust in friends and relatives, and don t put off the care of your soul till later, for people will forget you more quickly than you think. It s better to provide now, in this world, and send some good account ahead of you than to rely on the help of others. If you don t care for your own welfare now, who will care when you are gone? The present is very precious. These are the days of salvation; now is the acceptable time (see 2 Cor 6:2). How sad that you do not spend the time in which you might purchase everlasting life in a better way. The time will come when you will want just one day, just one hour in which to make amends, and do you know whether you will obtain it? Be Free of Fear See, then, dearly beloved, the great danger from which you can free yourself and the great fear from which you can be saved, if only you will always be wary and mindful of death. Try to live now in such a manner that at the moment of death you may be glad rather than fearful. Learn to die to the world now, so that when you leave the world you may begin to live with Christ. Learn to spurn all things now, so that then you may freely go to Him. Chastise your body in penance now, so that then you may have the confidence born of certainty. Foolish one, why do you plan to live long when you aren t sure of living even a day? How many have been deceived and suddenly snatched away! How often have you heard of people being killed by drownings, by fatal falls from high places, of people dying at meals, at play, in fires, by the sword, in pestilence or at the hands of robbers! Death is the end of everyone, and the life of man quickly passes away like a shadow. So keep your heart free and raise it up to God for you have no lasting home in the world.
