Reflect
Heavenly Father, Everything I have and everything I am is a gift from You.
Thank You for the people You have placed in my life, for the faith You have given me, and for the many blessings You have entrusted to my care.
Give me wisdom as I reflect on my life and my responsibilities.
Help me to recognize what matters most, to consider how I can care well for those I love, and to understand the legacy of faith, love, and generosity You are calling me to leave.
Guide my thoughts and give me peace as I place my life and my future in Your hands.
Amen.
Before making plans or completing documents, take some time to consider what matters most to you.
-
Who are the people you want to care for?
-
How has your Catholic faith shaped your life?
-
What wishes would you want your family to understand?
-
And what kind of legacy do you hope to leave?
-
The Don’t Leave a Mess Reflection Guide will walk you through these questions prayerfully and at your own pace. You do not need to have all the answers.
The important thing is simply to begin.
Faithful planning begins by knowing what matters.
