New Year?

Have you ever thought that a day is like a compendium, a summary of a year? And that a day has as much value as a year, or more, because a year is nothing more than the sum of a certain number of days. That the same happens in a day as in a year, but to a lesser extent. You are constantly growing old, thinking, deciding, communicating with people, working, resting, waiting, suffering, laughing, planning, eating. The day is the pillar, the foundation, along with other days, of the year.

And thanks to the set of those days we say that We had a good, bad, difficult, successful year, happy sad Deep down, we do not appreciate the greatest value that one day has in our life. Importance so great. Perhaps with equal or greater impatience we should await the day to come, with its opportunities, challenges, difficulties, joys and sorrows, like next year.

Every day is extremely important. But we focus all our aspirations, worries, ideals, dreams and fears on the approaching new year. And sometimes as something magical, mysterious, beyond our control, maybe it depends more on chance, on some luck strange powers.

We divide life into years, which depend on how the clock turns. the earth around the sun. And it’s okay. But we forget the value of the day, which depends on the turn the earth takes on itself. And that rotation is just as important as the other.

If we have appreciated the importance of today, that it is worth preparing well, from the day before, with every detail of it: from the clothes you will wear, the food you will cook or buy, the meetings you will have, with the details of the time and agenda, your personal to the time of prayer, the calls you have to make, the book you have to study, the repair of that broken device; If you have organized the day well They will come, and you will work hard, I assure you If you do this every day, the new year will be better for you, because it is primarily the result of what you did in the year that is coming to an end.

If we do not do it in this way, improvisation, haste, disorganization, not appreciating the importance of the new day, lead to the fact that we lose so much time, so many days, that at the end of the year we blame it on our own carelessness… Jesus told us: “Every day has your trouble.” It’s in there every day extremely important, decisive, transcendental, unique, for everyone, and above all to love God with all your heart, all your soul and your neighbor as yourself.
