1. Whilst You’re Alive

‘The business of the Christian,’ said St. Irenaeus, ‘is nothing else than to be ever preparing for death.’Whilst we are still alive, then, there are plenty of things to get in good order in order that we die as prepared as possible, and do not run the risk of having a Novus Ordo or a Protestant funeral.

In the first place, we should move to somewhere with priests. Priests are more essential than water. A particular location may be very beautiful, or may have a lot of opportunities for financial advancement, but it is useless if it is completely bereft of priests.

Many of us live in mission scenarios, and we are gradually getting access to more frequent Masses and retreats. Those of us who do should focus on supporting our missions and helping them to grow. But moving to rural Siberia isn't helpful for you or for anyone.

Secondly, we should make sure that we are known to our clergy, and that we are registered at our local traditional chapel. Priests are busy, and you do not want the priest to ask himself when called to see you at your death bed, 'Who is that?', all because you never introduce yourself or made yourself known to the clergy.
