DOING GOOD
Sirach 14:12-14
Remember that death does not delay,
And the covenant of Hades has not been shown to you.
Before you die, do good to a friend,
And reach out and give to him based on your ability.
Do not let a day go by without doing something good,
And do not let any of your desire for doing good escape you.
Personal Challenge
No matter how much we try to avoid it, we will have an appointment with death that we must all attend. It is inevitable that we will all physically die. The other certainty is that no one knows the time or place that this event will happen. This is why Sirach reminds us to constantly be looking for opportunities in our lives to do good to those around us. We are to love our family, our friends, our co-workers, our brothers and sisters in the faith, and the stranger amongst us as if today were the last day of our lives, for it might be. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
