The following reflection is excerpted from Matthew Kelly’s book “Holy Moments: A Handbook for the Rest of Your Life.”
Toward the end of his life, Michelangelo observed, “I regret that I have done so little for my eternal soul and that I am but beginning to learn the alphabet of my craft.” He was eighty-eight years old and indisputably a genius who had lived a life of astonishing worldly accomplishment. But what was his regret? Care of the soul. The advantage you have over Michelangelo is that you still have time to do something about it. How much time? Impossible to say, but not enough time to waste any. So, begin today. You have so much more to offer. But to contribute more, to experience life in new and exciting ways, to accomplish things far beyond your accomplishments so far, and to discover who you really are and what you are here in this world to contribute, you need to start paying closer attention to the sacred truths bubbling up within your soul. You were made for more. It’s time to find out what that “more” is.
