Medita\u00e7\u00e3o matinal:\u00a0 \u201cBEHOLD, A DEAD MAN WAS CARRIED OUT\u201d \u2014 (Gospel, Luke vii.)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Oh, would to God that men kept Death always before their eyes!\u00a0 If they did they certainly would not lead such sinful lives.\u00a0 Poor sinners! they put away the thought of Death whenever it presents itself, and think only of living for pleasure and amusement, as if they were never to die.\u00a0 But one day the end will come for all.<\/p>

Medita\u00e7\u00e3o I:
<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0During their lives the constant thought of the Saints was to please God and sanctify themselves.\u00a0 Hence when death approaches, they go with confidence to meet it, for death will deliver them from the miseries and dangers of the present life, and unite them perfectly with God.\u00a0 But the man who has thought only of his pleasures and his own ease, and has neglected to recommend himself to God, or to reflect on the account which he must one day render, cannot meet death with confidence.\u00a0 Poor sinners! they banish the thought of death whenever it presents itself to them, and think only of living for pleasure and amusement, as if they never were to die.\u00a0 But for each of them the end must one day come.\u00a0 The end is come; the end is come<\/em>. \u2014 (Ezech. vii., 2).\u00a0 And when this end comes every one must gather the fruit he has sown during his life.\u00a0 For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap.<\/em> \u2014 (Gal. vi., 8).\u00a0 If he has sown deeds of holiness, he shall receive rewards of eternal life; but if he has sown evil deeds he shall reap chastisements and eternal death.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The scenes of his past life are the first things that will rush on the mind of the dying man, when the news of death is announced to him.\u00a0 He will then see things a light far different from that in which he viewed them during life.\u00a0 The acts of revenge which appeared to him lawful, the scandals he thought so little of, speaking obscenely, injuring the character of his neighbour, the pleasures which were regarded as innocent, the acts of injustice he held to be allowable \u2013 all these things will then appear what they really were \u2013 grievous sins and offences against God, each of which merited hell.\u00a0 Alas! those blind sinners who voluntarily blind themselves during life by shutting their eyes to the light shall, at death, involuntarily see all the evil they have done.\u00a0 Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened<\/em>. \u2014 (Is. xxxv., 5).<\/p>

Medita\u00e7\u00e3o noturna:\u00a0\u00a0CONSIDERATIONS ON THE PASSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST<\/i><\/strong><\/p>

Medita\u00e7\u00e3o I:
<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Jesus Christ, then, died for each one of us, in order that each one of us might live only to his Redeemer, Who died for love of us.\u00a0 Christ died for all, that they also who live may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them and rose again<\/em>. \u2014 (2 Cor. v., 15).\u00a0 He that lives for himself directs all his desires, fears, and pains, and places all his happiness in himself.\u00a0 But he that lives to Jesus Christ places all his desires in loving and pleasing Jesus Chris; all his joys in gratifying Him; all his fears lest he should displease Him.\u00a0 He is only afflicted when he sees Jesus despised, and he rejoices only in seeing Him loved by others.\u00a0 This it is to live to Jesus Christ, and this He justly claims from us all.\u00a0 To win this from us He has offered all the pains He suffered for love of us.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Does He ask too much in this?\u00a0 No, says St. Gregory, He cannot ask too much when He has given such tokens of His love that He seems to have become a fool for our sake.\u00a0 Without reserve He has given Himself wholly for us; He has, therefore, a right to require that we should give ourselves wholly to Him, and fix all our love upon Him; and if we take from Him any portion of it, by loving anything either apart from Him or not for His sake, He has reason to complain of us; for then we do not love Him as we should.<\/p>
