Father Samuel's Pod

3Aug25 (25cO18). We are reminded through memento mori—remembering death—that this life is fleeting and all earthly things will pass away. When we lose sight of meaning, even small trials overwhelm us, but with purpose rooted in God, we can endure suffering with hope. Our true legacy is not wealth or success, but the love of God and neighbor that persists beyond death. By fixing our hearts on what endures—faith, love, and the Eucharist—we learn to live with eternity in mind and store up treasures that last forever.
