If God grants us another day of life, it means that He still needs another act of love from us here on earth.
Yes, our strength is diminishing, but our hope and gratitude for everything that God has given us in His love increases.
No matter what, above all, keep your peace and inner balance. Often return in silence to where God dwells with the immeasurable tenderness of His love. Especially this should fill the soul as the years go by: a peace that is based on nothing other than the endless certainty of His love; and that in the final moment, He will be there to embrace us in His arms.
(Cardinal Charles Journet /1891–1975/, correspondence)
