"Time passes and does not return.
God has assigned to each of us a definite time in which to fulfill His divine plan for our soul;
We have only this time and shall have no more.
Time ill spent is lost forever.
Our life is made up of this uninterrupted, continual flow of time, which never returns.
In eternity, on the contrary, time will be no more.
We shall be established forever in the degree of love which we have reached now, in time. If we have attained a high degree of love, we shall be fixed forever in that degree of love and glory; if we possess only a slight degree, that is all we shall have throughout eternity. No further progress will be possible when time has ended.
Therefore, while we have time, let us work good to all men (Gal 6:10).
We must give every moment its full amount of love, and make each passing moment eternal, by giving it value for eternity.' (Sr. Carmela of the Holy Spirit, OCD)
