today is the day
"Brothers, up till now we have done nothing at all: so let us begin today." It was to himself that Saint Francis addressed this counsel; let us humbly make it our own. How true it is that we have done nothing – or very little – as yet! One year follows another without our asking ourselves what we could have made of them. Hasn't there been anything to change, to add or take away from our way of behaving?
All we have is the present moment: so let us keep a watch over it and live it as though it were a treasure entrusted to us. Time doesn't belong to us; don't let us waste it.
-- Saint [Padre] Pio
