“The time to prove our love is short, and we only have one life” (St. Maximilian Kolbe).
You are right, dear Maximilian Kolbe. Time is short and we are often lazy and slow to do good. This is because we do not yet love our Heavenly Father enough, and we fail to understand the incredible opportunity we have to be a light in the midst of darkness, thus honoring God and serving mankind. Indeed, every day is a gift to prove our love.
Wis 9: 13-18
“For who can learn the counsel of God? Or who can discern what the Lord wills? For the reasoning of mortals is worthless, and our designs are likely to fail; for a perishable body weighs down the soul, and this earthy tent burdens the thoughtful mind. We can hardly guess at what is on earth, and what is at hand we find with labor; but who has traced out what is in the heavens? Who has learned your counsel, unless you have given wisdom and sent your holy spirit from on high? And thus the paths of those on earth were set right, and people were taught what pleases you, and were saved by wisdom.”
