Niccoló Tommaseo, a poet once said, “Life is only a remembrance, a hope, and a passing moment.”
Antonio Cardinal Bacci said “This is so true, life which preoccupies us so much is only a point of time which continually passes and evades us. We live on memories and on hopes, but in reality, our life is no more than an elusive period of time flowing into the ocean of eternity. Yesterday we did not exist, and tomorrow we shall be no more. Yesterday God called is forth from nothingness, and tomorrow He will summon us from this fleeting existence in order to reward or punish us in eternity. It is the great mystery of life that so much depends on a vanishing moment of time. We have two alternatives. We can direct our course in life towards God, in which case we shall one day be happy with Him forever. Or we can travel in the opposite direction in pursuit of sensual satisfaction and transitory worldly success, in which case we shall one day be rejected by God and shall be doomed to everlasting unhappiness.”
