On the Nightstand: Remember Your Death: Memento Mori Lenten Devotional

“You are going to die.”

Hard words, indeed. But words we can turn into hope, words that can change our lives. That’s what Sister Theresa Aletheia Noble, FSP, promises in Remember Your Death: Memento Mori Lenten Devotional.

I got a bit of a head start late last year with the related journal, and am excited to begin the devotional. Sister explains the practice of remembering our death has been encouraged for centuries by Christians and non-Christians alike. For Christians, she notes, it’s especially rich not only to remember our deaths to live aright today, but also to remember what Christ has done for us.
