I was watching the 1947 movie, "Monsieur Vincent," and a conversation between a noble lady and the saint struck me, so I share it (in part) below...
Queen: You're doing too much. We are old now.
St. Vincent: One is old when one wants to be old.
Queen: It's good to be done.
St. Vincent: I have done so little.
Queen: You know you've done a lot. Very few will be able to show for as much work on Judgement Day.
St. Vincent: I did sleep. I slept so much. I had to be old to realize one could live on four hours of sleep a night. I was a coward quite often. I gave in... and I closed my eyes to forget about misery.
Queen: Tell me. Do you also feel now that death is near that you're leaving an empty hole behind?
St. Vincent: Yes, Madame. I haven't accomplished anything.
Queen: What is one to do in life, then, to accomplish anything?
St. Vincent: More. We are so neglecting.
CALL TO ACTION: Cease closing your eyes to the spiritual misery all around us, and do more!
