Sanctifying the Present We have today, and we have the ability to act in it—to sanctify it. Today is our responsibility, and we will be judged for it. If we live today as it should be lived, it guarantees the sanctification of our entire life. Life is made up of units, and a single unit is the day. Can we separate today from yesterday? And from tomorrow as well? Then live it as an independent unit—living it fully, in holiness and joy? Can we extract today from the past and the future, and turn it into an effective unit? Rejoicing […]
