It reminds me of all the old statues of Francis, holding a human skull (or standing near one) - the immediacy of our mortality and the fact that "right now is 'at that time'. I read a story from the Desert Fathers in which two hermit brothers are working in their common garden and one suddenly says to the other 'What if the Lord came back right now?!' It says they both burst into tears, dropped their tools and went into their cells to fervently and urgently seek God in prayer. Pray for me brother to truly take what you shared to heart so that 'forsaking all, I can follow Christ.' Your brother, always, in Christ. brother Joseph, SFO Thank you, brother, for sharing this thought.
