Memento mori--Latin for "remember you will die"--refers to the practice of meditation on one's inevitable death. Encouraged by Scripture and the saints, this ancient tradition can help you to manage the chaos of this world, grow closer to God, and focus on heaven.Â
When Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble, FSP, began keeping a ceramic skull on her desk and tweeting about memento mori, she had no idea she'd be starting a movement. Her daily tweets inspired countless others to remember death daily. Many have found that this ancient practice provides an important perspective on their lives in view of Jesus' call to repentance, conversion, and the hope of resurrection. Now Sr. Theresa Aletheia has written several resources to help people to incorporate memento mori into their daily lives, (a Lenten devotional, this journal, and a prayer book).
This writing journal contains an introduction to memento mori, quotes, and an appendix of prayers to help readers incorporate this powerful practice into their lives.

Journal alongside the wisdom of the saints, ancient writers, great Catholic minds, and contemporary people of faith.
