Let us adore Jesus Christ inviting us in the Gospel to be at any moment ready to die. Blessed is that servant, He says, whom when his Lord shall come He shall find doing his duty (Matt. 24:46). Let us thank Him for counsel so important, and let us ask of Him grace to profit by it.

Summary of Tomorrow Morning’s Meditation
Summary of Tomorrow’s Meditation
We will meditate tomorrow upon another means whereby to perform our actions well, which is to perform each one of them as though it were to be the last of our life; and we shall see: First, that nothing is wiser; Second, that nothing is more useful. We will then make the resolution: First, following the advice of St. Bernard, to ask ourselves at the commencement of each action; If thou wert destined to die after this action, wouldst thou do it, and how wouldst thou do it? Second, always to keep ourselves in the state in which we should desire to be found at our death.

How Can Good Works be Performed for Our Salvation? Sunday’s Meditation
Seventh Sunday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to St. Matthew, 7:15-21
“At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Beware of false prophets who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but invariably they are ravening wolves. By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down and shall be cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them, not everyone that saith to Me: “Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of My Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

How To Do All Things Well and Virtuously: Saturday’s Meditation
Meditation for the Morning
Let us adore God, who destined all the faithful to be perfect images of His Son (Rom. 8:29), and with this end in view giving Him to us to be the model and the soul of all our actions. Let us bless Him for having called us to imitate the life and the actions of a God; (Tertullian, Orat. adv. Marc., lib. 2:27) there cannot be a more beautiful or happy vocation.
