Faded Tombstones

“So stay awake, because you do not know the day or the hour.”  (Mt 25: 13) 

     Our time on earth is limited.  There is a fixed day and a fixed time when we will officially depart this world.  Personally, I benefit from visiting cemeteries and looking at the various tombstones.  Most of the older ones are barely legible and this serves as a clear reminder of the vanity of the world.  Eventually, we will be forgotten by this world..  What matters in the end, is our fidelity and our love, and who we were able to lead to Christ and heaven.
