Stay Awake To Make Right Choices
Yesterday I attended the funeral Mass for one of the monks here on campus who recently passed away at the age of 100. During the homily, the priest was talking about how we need to make the right choices so our obituary will say what we want it to say about us. Tonight, I just got back from the 9:00 p.m. Sunday night student Mass. In the Gospel reading for Mass today, we hear Jesus tell us to stay awake, because we do not know the day or the hour. We do not know when the time will come to pass from this life to the next. We need to stay awake to be able to make the right choices, so that when our time comes, we will have lived the life we have wanted to live.
