Seek the opportunities of good deeds while you still have time. It is dangerous to keep a head full of dreams with unoccupied hands.
Kindle your lamp while there is light about your steps. No traveler can avoid the surprises of night fall.
Help those about you while you have the opportunity of doing so, because the moment will come when you will not be able to carry on without help from others.
Use your physical body to gather blessings from the Higher Life while it still works together harmoniously. The vase that held sublime essences will continue to perfume the air after being abandoned.
Give your lessons wisely in the school of life while the book of trials still rests in your hands. Learning is a blessing, and there are thousands of brothers and sisters nearby awaiting a scholarship in reincarnation.
Settle your accounts with your neighbour while the time is favourable. Tomorrow the entire scene could be changed.
No one should be a prophet of death, not try to imitate the ill-omened owl. Yet while you await the opportunity to store up higher spiritual values, continue to increase your own worth and develop treasures for your soul, in the certainty that your journey to another type of existence is inevitable.
Excerpted from Chapter 14 of "Christian Agenda" - Chico Xavier (by the Spirit André Luiz)
