Reflection
The union with Christ is realized already in our baptism. It can be fruitful or only of
leaves, it is from leaves, when we are Christians only in name; and from fruits, when our
works are fruitful through charity. Now what should concern us the most is not to separate from
Christ for sin. Thus united to Christ, our growth will always be constant and
durable. United to Christ, nothing and no one will separate us from him. And death will seal
definitely our union and our love.
My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man, I am truly sorry with all my heart for having
sin, because I have deserved hell and I have lost heaven, and above all because I
I offended you, who are infinite goodness, whom I love above all things. I propose
firmly, with your grace to amend me and keep me away from all occasions of sin,
to confess to me and fulfill the penance. I trust that you will forgive me for your infinite
mercy. Amen.
First of all, we have to remember that death is something provisional, that is to say
that will not last forever. There will come a day when there will be no death, nor
tears, nor suffering. God will prepare for all those who have made the effort
to behave well, a party that will be like a banquet where nothing will be missing. In
In reality, being with the Lord, we will be happy and content forever.
