Those things you mention all have impact on how well we use our lives, and how much space we leave for what needs to be accomplished, how well we take care of the gift of ourselves that God has given us, how much time and effort we apply to doing good for others, and for praying.
I spent some time living in with Benedictine nuns
Yes, time was mapped out, with necessary work, and with much prayer.
So many do not pray. These nuns pray for the world, pray for all those who have no one to pray for them,
praise and honor God who is ignored by so many.
When busy Martha complained about Mary’s spending time in His presence, in love and devotion, Jesus rebuked Martha. There must be Marthas but there must also be Marys. Luke 10:41
Regarding judgement of souls, it’s most straightforward to quote Jesus, who is Judge of souls. He spoke of practical kindness as His criteria in Matthew 25 verses 31-46
31 “When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
34 Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 38 And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 39 And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’ 40 And the King will answer them, Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.' 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?' 45 Then he will answer them, Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’ 46 And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
I think you already have insight about these things or you wouldn’t be thinking about it and posting about it.Your threads show you are devoted to growing in faith , charity, and goodness.
God bless you now and always
