Death is something that no one escapes. Rich, intellectual, poor, ignorant, good or bad, we will all die one day.
In a paradoxical way however, it is what we generally least think of. And sometimes, we don't even want to think about it!
However, we should keep in mind that if we inevitably go towards a certain destination, the correct thing to do is to prepare. As we would be if we were about to go on a long journey to a different country.
Not knowing exactly what weather we were going to find, we would take clothes for mild temperatures and clothes for very warm or very cold days.
We would also plan what we'd do when we arrived there.
So, how can we not think about the great and essential journey that we will take when we die, transferring ourselves from this world to another?
A world that is vibrant, where we will reunion with our ancestors.
Perhaps we should consider how to improve our wedding dress, the same one that the Evangelist describes in the parable of the wedding feast. Dress that is woven, in our day to day, by our way of thinking, acting, producing good or evil.
Perhaps it would be interesting to consider strengthening our links with the good God so that when that moment comes, we are ready.
And that prayer needs not be something memorized. It could be as spontaneous as this:
Lord, when I have to leave, allow me to be prepared. May there be peace in my conscience for not having done wrong to others.
May I be ready, with my bag of good deeds in an appropriate suitcase, without remorse for what has not been done and not done.
Allow the good Spirits to receive me and assist me in transposing the fragile vessel of earthly life to the immense vessel of Spirituality.
Who knows, Lord, you may even allow old loves to welcome me, bringing me hugs, flowers and smiles. Loves that left before, leaving a gap in my heart. Loves from other lives, always remembered by my immortal Spirit.
Allow, Heavenly Father, those who remain on Earth be in peace and accept my departure with the dignity of those who are aware that this journey is fast.
May they be able to restructure their lives, without my presence. May they continue in their journey of progress and struggles.
May I, now a pacified soul, enter the Spirituality eager to continue learning, working, as soon as I get over the tiredness of the earthly journey and any reflexes of physical disorders that have taken me the last days.
May I return to the home I left there, resuming tasks suspended for a while.
May I be allowed to travel through places I wished to visit, while incarnated so I can know spectacular places created by Your greatness.
Anyway, Lord, stay with me at that time.
