TODAY IS THE DAY OF REPENTANCE

In the Talmud Sabbath 153a, Rabbi Eliezer encourages us to to spend each day in repentance.

R Eliezer said: Repent one day before your death.

His disciples asked him, Does then one know on what day he will die?

Then all the more reason that he repent to day, he replied, lest he die to morrow and thus his whole life is spent in repentance.
