February 24, 2019 3 Satan to Exorcist: 1. By self-love we mean here an inordinate love of self. We are not forbidden to love ourselves. In fact, “My foothold in the this is something natural to us and therefore intend- Catholic Church is the ed by God. We should love ourselves, however, in a properly ordered manner. In the first place, we must self-love of its love God above everything and therefore more than members.” ourselves. God is our creator, and our Redeemer and our final end. Everything comes to us from Him, and for this reason everything must return to Him. We should not be self-centered, but God-centered. In other words, we must direct all our actions towards God, not towards ourselves. We cannot set our own ego in the place which belongs to God, still less above Him. To do so would be equivalent to robbing God, because everything is His and we ourselves belong to Him. If we have any intelligence at all, let us remember that God gave it to us. If we have sound health, strength or good looks, let us remember that these are His gifts. If we have amassed a great store of cultural or artistic learning as a result of our own ability and study, let us not become too attached to it nor look for praise and admiration. It is God Who gave us this ability and the energy and enthusiasm to cultivate it. Honor and glory are due to God alone.

2. "Self-love dies three days after ourselves," St. Francis de Sales was accustomed to remark. What he meant was that it is very difficult to think and act only for God, without our won ego raising its head and stealing some of His glory. It is hard to be humble in the presence of God. But it is harder still to be humble before men. When anybody genuflects in front of the altar and begins to pray in the presence of God, it is not too difficult for him to bow his head and recognise his own weakness and dependence. But it is different among other men. In the presence of men we are easily tempted to display ourselves and our endowments. We feel displeased when we are not noticed nor praised. Let us steer clear of the esteem of men. Humility is the foundation of every virtue. If we are not humble, we can never become holy.

3. There are three tiny blossoms which can scarcely be seen --- those of the corn, the olive, and the vine. Nevertheless, from these we receive grain, oil and win --- three very precious commodities. These three little blossoms are almost invisible in comparison with other larger flowers, such as that of the magnolia, which do not yield any useful fruit. They should present us with a starting-point for meditation. Would we like our actions to be valuable in the sight of God and bring forth fruit? Let us be humble and suppress love of self. Then God will look on us with favor. He will give us His grace and make fertile the work which we do purely for Him. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. (James 4:6)

The Early Hours of the Day 1. Waking up in the morning is like being raised to life again. Sleep, which is necessary for the restoration of energy, is an image of death. During those hours of sleep it was as if you did not exist any longer. Your mind was unconscious, your limbs inactive. Now God gives you life once more and the strength to live it. Your first thoughts, therefore, should be directed towards Him. When the sun rises, all creation sings hymns of praise to God. The flowers shake the night-dew from their petals and send up their perfume to their Creator. The birds drawing their heads from beneath their warm wings, sing their morning canticles. Now, man is master of the universe. Therefore he should gather together these perfumes and these voices and offer them to God along with the homage and adoration of his whole being.

2. Unfortunately, there are many who never give the slightest thought to God when they rise in the morning. Or perhaps they think that a quick, mechanical sign of the cross satisfies all their religious obligations. A good Christian could not behave in this fashion. He kneels to say his morning prayers, and raises his mind and heart to God in acts of thanksgiving, reparation and love. Only in this way can he begin the day with peace and confidence, knowing that during it he will have continual need of God's assistance. If hitherto you have not be- haved like this, make up your mind to begin every day in future by offering yourself to God along with all your work, plans, and worries. This offering will be a wonderful spiritual advantage throughout the day.

3. If possible, it is desirable to begin the day by visiting Jesus. He is always in the tabernacle waiting patiently and lovingly for us to visit Him. Why could we not spend at least one half-hour with Him? There are twenty-four hours in the day. Must we spend them in sleep, work, amusement and conversation without ever pausing to speak with Jesus? What about Mass and Holy Communion? It is true that we are not obliged to go to Mass on weekdays, nor have we a strict obligation to receive Holy Communion except during the Paschal period. But a genuine Christian should not be satisfied with doing only what is commanded under pain of mortal sin. He should love Je- sus so much that he will experience an urgent need of communication with Him. He should be ready to sacrifice a little of his early- morning sleep for the purpose of receiving Jesus in Holy Communion. There is no surer way of being able to resist the temptations of the day and of acquiring peace of spirit. The practice of daily Communion can transform a man's life. By: Cardinal Antonio Bacci

February 24, 2019 4 LA MUERTE, MAESTRA DE LA VIDA PARTE 2/2

Dicen muchos que el tiempo es dine- ro. Que se queden con su tiempo. Que es placer. Que aprovechen. Para otros, el tiempo es Reino de Dios, es cielo, es eternidad feliz... ¿Qué esco- ges tú? ¿Qué son para ti la vida y el tiempo?

La vida, de la que tanto se habla, es uno de los dones que más se pisotean. Al ver cómo viven muchos hombres uno debe creer que odian la vida y prefieren la muerte.

Muerte de un pecador impenitente Muerte de un justo Hay muertes preciosas. Es una muerte maravillosa la de quien puede decir El Juicio Particular en ese momento: “He cumplido mi mi- sión”.

Una muerte así, es comienzo de la vida verdadera. Es propiamente entonces cuando se nace. Por eso en el Martiro- logio, el libro donde se narra la vida de los santos y mártires, no se hace constar el día de su nacimiento, sino el día de su muerte, como el verdadero día de su nacimiento. La muerte para los buenos brilla como una estrella de esperanza. Sus frutos son la paz, el descanso, la vida. Con esta paz y serenidad murió Juan XXIII: "¡Qué alegría cuando me dijeron: vamos a la casa del Señor.....!", decía en su lecho de muerte.

Un muchacho decía a la hora de su muerte: "¡Qué bueno ha sido Dios conmigo, por haberme concedido vivir 17 años”; y moría ofreciendo su vida por sus padres y por los que lo habían formado. Otro decía: "No sé por qué lloran”. Aquel muchacho moría pidiendo perdón a todos , incluso a su novia, pero la novia tuvo un gesto y unas palabras muy oportunas: “No tengo qué perdonarte y te lo digo delante del sacerdote, porque desde que te conocí soy más buena”. ¿Lo podrías decir tú, de tu novio, de tu novia, de tu esposo, de tu esposa?

Preguntémonos ahora la cosa más importante: ¿Cómo será mi muerte? He aquí lo importante: no el cuándo, sino el cómo voy a morir; es decir, en qué disposiciones. Aunque no podemos fijar el día, el lugar, la forma externa de morir, si podemos fijar el cómo. Podemos preverlo: se muere según se vive. Si se vive bien, lo normal es que se muera bien; si se vive mal, lo normal es que se muera mal, si Dios no pone remedio. Si vivo bien, con su ayuda moriré bien; si vivo mediocremente, moriré como un mediocre; si vives santamente, no lo dudes, morirás como un como un san- to.

Si desde hoy te decides a ser un buen hombre, seguro que morirás como un buen hombre y nunca te arrepentirás; pero si dejas ese asunto para más adelante, lo dejas para nunca. No se puede improvisar la hora de la muerte. Los dos ladrones que iban a morir, estaban al lado del Redentor, y aún así, sólo uno de los dos compañeros de suplicio de Jesús se convirtió.

Comenta San Agustín: “Hubo un buen ladrón para que nadie desespere; pero sólo uno, para que nadie presuma y se confíe”. Hay que ser lógicos y aprovechar el tiempo. El que pasó ya pasó, pero el que queda por delante hay que aprovecharlo con avaricia. Si muriera esta noche, ¿estaría preparado? ¿tendía mis manos llenas, vacías o medio vacías?

¿Estaré preparado el día de mi muerte? Esta es la gran pregunta. Podríamos terminar esta reflexión con las palabras de un gran hombre que todos los días medita sobre la muerte como maestra de vida: “Yo sé que toda la vida humana se gasta y se consume bien o mal y no hay posible ahorro: los años son esos, no más. Y la eternidad es lo que sigue a esta vida. Gastarnos por Dios y por amor a nuestros hermanos en Dios es lo razona- ble y seguro”.

Según se vive, así se muere. Si esto es así: de los que viven santamente estamos seguros que morirán santamente. Pero de los que viven en pecado podemos estar seguros que morirán impenitentes.
