Your time could come to an end. You could get infected. You could die to respiratory failure. Or you could walk down the street and get hit by a car-- someone rushing to grab toilet paper. Heck, you could even...fall off the couch and die. But whatever, it's all good. While this whole pandemic makes it, if anything, more obvious that you could face your own death, the fact of the matter is, death is always looming above you. Every day. Global pandemic or not. Today could be your last day on Earth. And that's always the case. It's just now more evident than ever with this massive viral outbreak. Now I know, that may sound rather morbid and depressing, but only if you entirely miss the point. I mean I get it. No one likes to think about the fact that they could die at any given moment. But what's the alternative? To think you are immortal? To believe you are immune to fate? To conclude you're the exception to this universal rule and have time as an unlimited resource? No. See, awareness of your own death, your own mortality, allows you to focus on things that actually fucking matter. It motivates you to make the best of what you have, while you're here -- to appreciate the little things you typically take for granted and go after your goals you want to achieve, to build genuine connections with other people. It is in knowing your permanent sleep is inevitable that wakes you up. In short, thinking of your own death allows you to think about how you want to live before it inevitably comes to an end. As we're sitting here in lock down, you may think to yourself: "I guess my "normal" life wasn't so bad. There was actually a lot to appreciate, a lot I took for granted." All this time, you were "dead". Heart still beating, yes. Lungs still breathing, indeed. But dead in the mind, going through the motions without consciously experiencing them. And we all tend to do that. We all tend to look at our smartphones instead of the world around us. We all do things on "auto-pilot". We have the same conversations with the same people, without a genuine connection. We do the same tasks every single day, without taking notice to the little details that are different. We get frustrated easily when our routine is set off course by some minor interruption, when really these unexpected circumstances are the only time we are truly alive because for once in a great blue moon, we actually have to be in the moment, live, instead of simply exist. You might have even been regretful about the past or worried about the future, all while failing to notice what's actually going on around you in the present. You will die one day and it will all be over. Use that as inspiration to focus on what matters RIGHT NOW, in the present. Use that as encouragement to stop living as a mindless machine and start living as...an actual human being! A human being who is conscious and aware of the life that s/he is living. There are two promises we are given in life 1) There will always be change 2) You will die some day The key is to make the best of those unpredictable changes before you reach your predictable death. There's a phrase that dates back to the time of Socrates: Memento Mori, which means "Remember Death". For centuries, philosophers have meditated on their own mortality, on the fact that their time in this current reality which we are experiencing is in fact limited. Whether you believe in entering the Gates of Paradise or Reincarnating as a Sloth or just turning to dust after death, is a pointless debate. What we can all agree on is that Death means the end of THIS current experience. So make the best of it.

The earth weeps for 40 days over the death of a Muslim (Al Wakee) 'Time is a sword -you either cut it or else it will cut you. Occupy your soul with the truth or it will occupy you in falsehood' (Ibn Qayyeem [rah]). 'Remember death often as it will keep you busy from futile matters.' Continue in supplications for you do not know when they will be answered. Give thanks regularly for this brings an increase' (Abu Nu'aym- Al Hillyah). So the heaven & earth wept over them not, Surah 44 v27.
Life-expectancy worldwide is twice what it was a hundred years ago. And because of modern medicine, many of us don't often see death up close. That makes it easy to live as if death is someone else's problem. It isn't.On this archive episode of the Reasonable Theology podcast we sit down with Matthew McCullough, a pastor and author who recently published a book called Remember Death: The Surprising Path to Living Hope.When we ignore our own mortality, we lose out on much of what Scripture has for us to learn. As McCullough states, "When the reality of death is far from our minds, the promises of Jesus often seem detached from our lives."In this episode we'll discuss:The reason that death is, for many of us, like a foreign countryCultural changes that have occurred that allow us to 'forget' the reality of deathThe negative consequences of death becoming tabooWhat believers miss out on when they forget deathThe benefits of remembering our mortality (and why it's much more than carpe diem)How our view of death impacts how we respond to the promises of ChristPractical (and non-morbid!) steps we can take to remember deathCheck out the Show Notes for this episodeIf you enjoy the sermons and written works of CH Spurgeon, check out the all-new CHSpurgeon.com Here you'll find sermon audio as well as resources by and about the Prince of Preachers.

"It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time." — Samuel Johnson How often do you think about your death? Do you go through your life just ignoring it and thinking that it's always a long way off? Today I want to talk about why considering your death each day can make your life richer, fuller, and happier.
In this episode of the George Poulos Podcast, I talk about the temptation to stop showing up, to go back into the cocoon of safety, to stop pushing the boundary of what is possible, to stop practicing meditation. I share the Buddhist death meditations and resolutions that we learned during my previous weekend at Meditation Teacher Training at Three Jewels in NYC, and how these encourage you to keep pushing towards meditation practice & expansion beyond the limitations of ego. I share personal examples of what this all means for me. 0:00 on the temptation to stop showing up, & death meditation #1 2:38 when triggered, I ask: how am I not seeing this clearly? 11:07 more on death meditation #1 12:04 death meditation #2 13:15 death meditation #3 16:02 death resolution #1, 2 and 3 18:45 why consistency of meditation practice is personally important to me 20:38 “the world needs you good” 22:49 a note to my future self

Today's Topics: 1) Tempus Fugit, Memento Mori is a motto of the Knights of Columbus and is Latin for, "Time Flies, Remember Death." After the murder of the Most Reverend David G. O'Connell, the Episcopal Vicar of the San Gabriel Pastoral Region in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the Knights of Columbus hosted a novena for the repose of his soul. Per the Spiritual Works of Mercy we are called to pray for both the living and the dead, 2) Bishop David G. O'Connell joined the Knights of Columbus in the San Gabriel Valley Chapter. He and his fellow Brother Knights participated in demonstrating their "Faith in Action" and prayed many a times at abortion facilities located throughout the San Gabriel Valley, 3) Sir Knight Joe Corona, a Brother Knight who had an untimely death during the Covid pandemic, participated in many a good works with and for Bishop David G. O'Connell including organizing barbeques to honor the priests and deacons in the San Gabriel Pastoral Region. As is the case with the Bishop, we Knights for the repose of the soul of Brother Knight Joe Corona, 4) Immediately following the death of Bishop O'Connell, the month of March was filled with many spiritual blessings for his region, the San Gabriel Valley. It began with the "I Thirst" Eucharistic Revival at St. John Vianney in Hacienda Heights, CA. Bishop David was to be the keynote speaker at this event which was held a block away from home. The following weekend was the "I Thirst" Young Adult Eucharistic Revival at the Santiago Retreat Center in Silverado, CA, which is not far away from the Valley. On the third weekend in March a Knights of Columbus Charity, Unity and Fraternity Exemplification was held in the Bishop's honor at St. Anthony Church in San Gabriel. On the final weekend in March was the Virgin Most Power Network's Spiritual Warfare Conference in Pomona, CA. While this was happening a Eucharistic Procession with over 1,000 people took place from San Gabriel Mission to St. Luke Church in Temple City and back. This was led by Archbishop Jose Gomez. https://www.spiritfilledevents.com/i-thirst-los-angeles https://www.spiritfilledevents.com/i-thirst-young-adults https://virginmostpowerfulradio.org/events/2023spiritualwarfareconference/ https://lacatholics.org/archdiocesan-eucharistic-procession-gallery/ Theme: "Salve Regina" performed by Floriani.

Memento Mori. Latin phrases have a way of tickling our intellect, even when we perhaps do not fully understand them. A short phrase like Memento Mori let's us know that latin can accomplish much with two words. The short phrase translates to "Remember Death", or another translation also suggests this overall thought; "that a person remember that he will one day die. One day our earthly end will have arrived and it is good to remember the one inevitable, unavoidable fact that death awaits every one of us. We will all have our last our, our last breath and our last heartbeat. Meditations on death are an important part of living. The book "Imitation of Christ", attributed to Thomas A Kempis, is the most read book on earth after the Holy Bible and now we have a new volume by the same author, translated for the first time into English by Father Robert Nixon, Director at the New Norcia Institute for Benedictine Studies Western Australia. Death might seem like a macabre topic to start a new year, but the book, Meditations on Death, Preparing for Eternity, instead brings us to an appreciation of life with a healthy respect for it's fragility and helps us ponder and reflect on our use of the precious gift of life that God has given us. Death can be seen as a doorway to eternity and the beginning of our eternal existence. Joining me to discuss this work is the translator of the Latin text, Fr. Robert Nixon.

Ecclesiastes 9:1-12Death Comes to AllCHAPTER 91 But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him. 2 It is the same for all, since the same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As the good one is, so is the sinner, and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath. 3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 4 But he who is joined with all the living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun.Enjoy Life with the One You Love7 Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.8 Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head.9 Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.Wisdom Better Than Folly11 Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. 12 For man does not know his time. Like fish that are taken in an evil net, and like birds that are caught in a snare, so the children of man are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.
Ecclesiastes: Finding Life's Purpose | Remember: Death is ComingPastor Jay Childs(Ecclesiastes 9)The Certainty of Death (vs 1-10)The Uncertainty of Life (vs 11-18)
"He has now rested or others have rested from him." (Bukharee and Muslim) "On that day it will declare its narrative." (Al Zalzalah verse 4) If the love of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى and preparation of the akhirah leaves the heart. It's replaced with the comfort and love for the world. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى leaves you to your destruction. Remember death for the expiation of sins and hatred for the world. What are the two unique days and nights?

Do you spend time thinking about your mortality? If you do, does it fill you with gratitude? If you're like most modern Christians, you spend as little time as possible thinking about death. Unless you're an estate planner, pastor, doctor, or mortician, you likely don't spend a lot of time even thinking about mortality. Our youth-driven culture keeps us in the constant pursuit of life through technology and science. Todd Billings, a pastor and theologian, found this thought pattern disrupted by a diagnosis of incurable cancer. In his book, The End of the Christian Life, Billings calls us to embrace our mortality in our daily life and faith. He says, “This is the journey of genuine discipleship, following the crucified and resurrected Lord in a world of distraction and false hopes.” Memento Mori: Remember death The latin phrase memento mori means to “remember death.” It reminds us that we are mere mortals and to never get too big a view of ourselves. It's also a tremendous reminder to cherish every moment. The phrase originated when victorious Roman generals returned from battle. While they walked the streets—receiving the adulation of the crowds—a servant followed the general and whispered, “Respice post te! Hominem te esse memento! Memento mori!” Translated, this means, “Look behind you! Remember that you are but a man! Remember that you will die!” 3 Ways to Remember Death that Lead to Gratitude Contrary to our modern aversion to discussing death in a meaningful way (outside of dramatized news reports and movies), there is tremendous benefit that comes through thoughtful remembering. Here are three ways... Show notes: https://maninthepew.com/gc78

24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
From the series Ecclesiastes // Life Dismantled
Summer in The Psalms: Week 4 You're going to die. How should this reality shape the way you live? In this message from Psalm 90, Pastor Michael challenges us to pray with Moses, "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." (Psalm 90:12) Remember your death, and let it shape the way you live.
Your time could come to an end. You could get infected. You could die to respiratory failure. Or you could walk down the street and get hit by a car-- someone rushing to grab toilet paper. Heck, you could even...fall off the couch and die. But whatever, it's all good. While this whole pandemic makes it, if anything, more obvious that you could face your own death, the fact of the matter is, death is always looming above you. Every day. Global pandemic or not.

Now I know, that may sound rather morbid and depressing, but only if you entirely miss the point. I mean I get it. No one likes to think about the fact that they could die at any given moment. But what's the alternative? To think you are immortal? To believe you are immune to fate? To conclude you're the exception to this universal rule and have time as an unlimited resource? No. See, awareness of your own death, your own mortality, allows you to focus on things that actually fucking matter. It motivates you to make the best of what you have, while you're here -- to appreciate the little things you typically take for granted and go after your goals you want to achieve, to build genuine connections with other people. It is in knowing your permanent sleep is inevitable that wakes you up. In short, thinking of your own death allows you to think about how you want to live before it inevitably comes to an end.

Like most solo pursuits, the artist’s life is one that ceaselessly tests one's mental fortitude. Steven Pressfield likens it to dragon slaying. The dragon being what he’s coined the “Resistance”—that voice that questions your abilities, your worth, your sanity. “Resistance never sleeps,” Pressfield says. “It never slackens and it never goes away. The dragon must be slain anew every morning.” Anyone who sets out to make a career in the arts is confronted with this reality quickly, if not immediately. The two-time finalist for the Pulitzer prize, Russell Banks, was in his mid-twenties—just married, an apprentice plumber, living frugally—when he took the leap into the dragon’s den of creative expression. It was then that he happened upon a plaster angel statue in the window of a used furniture store. It wasn’t the angel that caught his attention. “I was pointedly irreligious and whatever the opposite of puritanical is,” as he puts it. It was the words carefully carved on the angel: Remember Death. Something about this particular reminder got through to me, as if I had never linked the two words together before, had never probed the meaning of either one alone or truly considered the imperative mood, and I had to own it, had to bring it home to our little apartment and hang it above my writing table, so that every time I looked up from my struggle to write my first poems and stories, I would see it, and I would remember death...On a profound level, beyond the purely personal, beyond pop-romanticism, beyond politics, beyond history, beyond even genocide and terrorism, it’s saying, Never forget. I took it as a command, not a mere reminder.In the half-century with his memento mori, Banks has lived all over the world, he’s written some two-dozen novels, and received widespread acclaim, but “Wherever I have set up my desk and sat myself down to write, my angel has looked down and murmured, Remember Death.” No one becomes immune to the evil inner-voice that makes us doubt ourselves, that tells us we’re inadequate or incapable, that puts us in a rut and tries to keep us there. What separates those who do great things is the ability to quell those voices before they swell. That’s what we see in Marcus’s routine writing of his impending death. He said, “Do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life.” When we do, we’re freed from the Resistance, inspired into action. That’s the power of memento mori. It isn’t morbid. It isn’t dark or depressing. No, it pulls us out of the dark and depressing by transcending those petty doubts and fears. Whether it’s an angel statue on your desk, a medallion in your pocket, a pendant around your neck, a statue of Marcus Aurelius himself, or a sticky note on your computer—memento mori.And use it to propel you.

Dudley Carter leads our final week of Bridge Builders Book Club with a lesson on "Remember Death: The Surprising Path of Living Hope" by Matthew McCullough. Death is an inescapable part of life that carries enormous significance for all humans. Christianity offers hope in death, but if we're being honest, how comfortable are we with discussing death at church or in our daily conversations?
In this debut episode, Ameen and KB discuss insights they gathered from Matthew McCullough’s recent book, “Remember Death: The Surprising Path to Living Hope”. Specifically, they converse about society’s denial of life’s finiteness, a scriptural perspective eternity, and a deconstruction of Joyner Lucas.

No one gets out of life alive. While not necessarily pleasant to think about, it is imperative we ponder death.1. Death's Invisibility2. Death's Commentary3. Death's Subservience
In this episode, Jamie Cain discusses a well known Latin phrase, Momento Mori or "Remember Death".

How would you live your life differently if you knew you were going to die tomorrow? We're all so busy rushing through our lives that we sometimes forget to pause and remember that we have fleeting time on this earth. Watch this short vlog for a reminder to be grateful for what you do have in your life, and the time you do have available now. Memento Mori. Remember that you will die.
Life-expectancy worldwide is twice what it was a hundred years ago. And because of modern medicine, many of us don’t often see death up close. That makes it easy to live as if death is someone else’s problem. It isn’t. On this episode of the Reasonable Theology podcast we sit down with Matthew McCullough, a pastor and author who recently published a book called Remember Death: The Surprising Path to Living Hope. When we ignore our own mortality, we lose out on much of what Scripture has for us to learn. As McCullough states, "When the reality of death is far from our minds, the promises of Jesus often seem detached from our lives."In this episode we'll discuss:The reason that death is, for many of us, like a foreign countryCultural changes that have occurred that allow us to 'forget' the reality of deathThe negative consequences of death becoming tabooWhat believers miss out on when they forget deathThe benefits of remembering our mortality (and why it's much more than carpe diem)How our view of death impacts how we respond to the promises of ChristPractical (and non-morbid!) steps we can take to remember deathFor more helpful resources, see the show notes at ReasonableTheology.org/Episode9Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/reasonabletheology)

Everyone I know has been telling me that I have to interview Jill Coleman, who is like a fitness model and captain of industry all rolled into one. Jill is the owner of the hugely successful brand JillFit, where she helps people in the areas of mindset, physique, and business. In This Conversation We Cover: [2:40] Growing up in a big Irish family [6:10] Launching JillFit [7:25] Deeply personal stories about marriage [10:40] The mindset Jill developed to create her hugely successful international brand [13:10] Working smarter instead of harder [16:50] A crazy story about running into your ex-husband, staying friends, & the power of mindset [29:20] Forgiveness & trust [31:10] How stoicism philosophy entered Jill’s life & how she applies it to the play hard part of her life [38:25] Getting out of “blame & complain” and into relentless positivity [40:40] Using practical pessimism as a productivity tool [42:10] Why Jill created JillFit & what she’s doing next [45:20] What Play Hard looks like for Jill [54:10] Jill’s evening wind down routine [58:00] Your questions for Jill Stoic Philosophy & Playing Hard Memento Mori translates to remember death, and it’s a phrase at the heart of Stoic philosophy. For Jill, it really means creating or living life to the fullest. “Remember Death reminds me that this is finite. I have a limited amount of days or hours or minutes that I get to live and be in this space, and for me, it reminds me to take action, to do the scary stuff, to invest, to make a choice when I’m scared.” Practical Pessimism & Productivity Practical pessimism is really just a systematic way of looking at all of the scenarios that could happen if you take a big leap. Say you’re going to start a business. Ask yourself, what is the worst thing that could possibly happen? Most people might go to I’m broke, homeless, or have to move back in with their parents. Then ask yourself two more questions: If that happened, could you handle it? And if that did transpire, what is one single step you could take to get back to baseline? There’s actually a lot of freedom in the worst-case scenario because it’s almost never as bad as you think it’s going to be.

Here, we discuss how remembering our mortality helps us to live better, as it brings much needed balance and purpose into our lives. Death in Islam is a bridge, and it is up to us to decide where this bridge is taking us.
