I pray for final perseverance and protection from sudden and unprovided death every time I pray the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary, and every time I receive Holy Communion (which I pray I will never make again unworthily, ever). We have to pray for these graces now, and not wait until we're on our deathbeds, and offering God the dregs of our life after withholding our best years from Him. We don't even know that we'll get a deathbed.<BR/><BR/>The saints tell us we spend our whole lives choosing heaven or hell; and if we spend our lives choosing hell, we are spending our lives quashing the last remaining spark of good will that God might otherwise have used to pull us back from the abyss.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I have ordered that St. Alphonsus book.Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.com
