Feb. 10th, 2026 Memento Mori

Fr. Daniel Koehl helps us contemplate Memento Mori, an ancient Christian saying that translates to “remember that you must die.” Memento Mori means living with eternity in mind—not fearing death, but using the awareness of death to live more faithfully, humbly, and lovingly. Within the Catholic tradition, Memento Mori calls individuals to examine their lives with honesty, seek reconciliation and forgiveness, and release resentment in light of eternity. Far from being pessimistic, it offers profound hope—pointing beyond death to resurrection and reminding believers that every moment is an opportunity for grace.Winter 2026 Series “Hope Does Not Disappoint“
