Our lives are run by and on time presently. “Time” is the most frequently used noun in the English language. We all know what it feels like as time passes. Our present becomes the past as soon as it’s happened; today soon turns into yesterday. If you live in a temperate climate, each year you see the seasons come and go. And as we reach adulthood and beyond, we become increasingly aware of the years flashing by.

And we pray:
Father Lord, I know You have conquered hell and death – You have the power over them now and have open the way to eternal joy with You. Lord, I desire to exist with You forever, I wish with my whole heart to be where You are – I pray that You help me to achieve this and give me the grace to serve You to the end. I know that Jesus is The key to eternal life. Amen.
