Memento Mori (Remember You Will Die)
Video Credit: Emily Herminath
The Hermits of Saint Paul of France once lived by the Latin phrase, "Memento Mori" which meant remember your mortality or in other words remember that you will die.
Just before his death, the ancient Greek philosopher Plato said that the unexamined life is not worth living. How many of us seriously consider the claims of different religions or philosophies? Where did all of this come from? What is the meaning of life? What will happen to us when we die?
We can't afford to ignore questions that could have eternal consequences. Every day that goes by is another step closer to the grave and it is gravely important that we consider our steps.
For those of us who are unaware of what we believe, we should take the time to examine our lives and search for answers to the best of our abilities. And for those of us who sincerely believe we've found the answers, we should dedicate our lives to seeking connection with others.
Apologetics is about connection. It is about connection with each other and connection to God. It's more than a logical defense of your beliefs, it's a loving plea to those around us to search for meaning, to search for truth, and to search for life before our lives come to an end.
