Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-January 1

TIME is a treasure which is found only in this life; it is not found in the next, either in hell or in heaven.

My brother, how do you spend your time? Why do you always defer till tomorrow what you can do today?

Remember that the time which is past is not yours; the future is not under your control; you have only the present for the performance of good works.
