God has entrusted to our care all the goods of this earth. He has loaned them to us to use not only for ourselves but also for our neighbors. One day God will ask us for an account of how we used the gifts He has bestowed upon us. Time Keep careful watch over your conduct. Do not act like fools, but like thoughtful men.
Time is too precious a gift, too scarce a commodity to be squandered.
If we waste it, we lose more opportunities than we know. Each moment is an opportunity for prayer, for kindness, for self-control, for personal growth. If time is charged with opportunity and not merely a succession of empty moments, it is shameful to waste it and sinful to kill it. How we spend time is far more important than how we spend money. In the majestic Basilica of St. Peter in Rome stands the Cathedra or Chair, executed by Bernini in the seventeenth century.
