What is more precious than
anything in the world? Time! And what do we waste uselessly and without being
sorry? Time! What do we not value and what do we disregard more than anything?
Time! When we waste time, we lose ourselves! We lose everything! When we have
lost the most trivial item, we search for it. But when we lose time--we're not
even aware of it. Time is given by God to use correctly for the salvation of
the soul and the acquisition of the life to come. Time must be allocated in the
same way that a good housekeeper allocates every coin--each one is used for
something. Each one has its own purpose. In such a way let us also allocate
time profitably, not for vain amusements and entertainments, conversations,
feasts and parties. The Lord will call us to account for having stolen time for
our own whims, and for not using it for God and our soul.
