Evening Meditations for Thursday – Fourth Week after Pentecost ~ St Alphonsus Liguori

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord-(Apoc. xiv. 13).

Running water will remind you how your life is running on and carrying you nearer and nearer to death; and the lamp going out for want of oil will warn you that thus also shall you one day see your life come to an end.
