Having died "on the table" last year and seeing the other side, the only satisfaction I have now is contemplating Our Lady (Mary) whom I met so briefly, and sent me back. It wasn't my time yet.
That said, everything pales in this lifetime to what lies ahead.

Still, prudence requires that we have both soft and hard assets, our "human capital" our "spiritual wealth" and physical goods. Of course, the saints who have reached the full spiritual union with God (St. Padre Pio, Maria Luisa Picarreta, et al.) lived on just the Eucharist and little more to sustain their bodies for years and years. I'm not quite there yet, though I did meet a woman at the supermarket just two or three days ago that lived on a piece of toast every day. Impressive!
