In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I met. My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me. I adore you with profound reverence. I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My immaculate Mother St. Joseph, my father and Lord, my guardian angel, and deceit for me.

November is a month that invites us to speak to Christ about the last things or the eternal truths. What are they?

We're not going to cover all of them. Death, judgment, particular judgment, final judgment, purgatory hell and heaven.

Let's begin with a phrase from St. Paul, and he says time is short.

And why does he say that? Well, he's inspired by the Holy Spirit, but at the same time,

you could see jumping off the page of his epistles, this sense of urgency to unite himself

to Jesus, and the sense of urgency to speak about Jesus Christ to others and to extend

the good news of the gospel and he says it himself time is short I'm running against the clock

there were probably no clocks in those days or I'm running against the clock. There were probably no clocks in those days. Or I'm running against the sundial.

Okay. But time is short and St. Jose Maria kind of piggybacks on that phrase in his homily,

time is a treasure in friends of God,

and St. Jose Maria kind of complains lovingly to the Lord.

Time is short, too short to love.

He's saying, I don't have enough time to love,

to offer you deeds of love.

So why this topic?

Because it's meant to give me a little freedom.

In spite of all the healthy food at our disposal, all these antioxidants that are accessible, no matter how much broccoli we eat or Brussels sprouts, at best we will prolong our life here, and we

may be fortunate enough to die healthy.

And no matter how much we torture our pet dog and make him run with us in the morning,

again, last time we checked, there is a fourth quarter.
