Lord, help me to meditate upon my own death.  Let me do so not in a morbid fascination or fatalism, but rather in recognition that in death I come home to You.  (Minute Meditations from the Popes, 14 November)

Lord, teach me humility and grace.  Put my life into perspective, so that I might live as I ought to.

Thank you, Lord, for Your loving kindness to such an undeserving person as myself.  (Larry W. Wilson, Daily Fellowship with God, 13 November)
