Thought of the Day March 23, 2026 Choose wisely
"If we make every effort to avoid death of the body, still more should it be our endeavor to avoid death of the soul. There is no obstacle for a man who wants t be saved other than negligence and laziness of soul." St. Anthony Abbot
What is more of more concern the death of the body or the death of the soul? The first is automatic and unpreventable. The second is by choice and avoidable. Paraphrasing Jesus, if we focus more on the body, we will reap the harvest of death. But if we focus on the life of our soul, then we will reap the harvest of life. The Evil One wants us to focus on the satisfaction of the body's needs. The Spirit of God gives us the grace to be concerned about the health of our soul. Whatever choice we make, on the Day of Judgment, God will confirm our choice eternally. Choose wisely.
