Reflect
As I think about my empty nest and upcoming retirement, I can’t help but wonder if the best is behind me. Is God done with me? But then I consider the possibility that he has been preparing me for this stage all along. Many great saints did their best work in their later years.
Pray
St. John the Evangelist, who wrote his Gospel in his 80s, pray for me.
St. John Paul II, who dedicated his life to God right up to the moment of his death at age 84, pray for me.
St. Teresa of Calcutta, who in her 70s helped rescue children from the front lines in Beirut, pray for me.
All you holy men and women, pray for me.
Amen.
Act
No matter your age, consider what God might be asking you to do at this point in your life.
