Where are you going?

Last night I was called to the Carmelite Cloister to anoint their Mother Superior. I had the privilege to enter the cloister and give her all that the Church can offer to the dying. All the sisters were kneeling around the bed praying for her. I am not sure if she passed away. Please pray for her, and I would say, ask for her prayers. One of the titles of the Blessed Mother is "Gate of Heaven." Truly the Carmelite Cloister is a gate of heaven and all those sisters stand ready at the gate with their lamp burning. This was a wake up call to me to turn my eyes towards my final end, and to embrace that the only purpose of a priest is to help others to get ready for the "Gate of Heaven."
