Memento Mori — Remember You Must Die

Memento Mori — Remember You Must Die

Two words the Church has pressed on her saints for two thousand years: memento mori. Remember you will die. The skull beneath this cross was once a man — with plans, with time he thought he had, with a list of things he'd get to later. The hourglass beside it is still running. But look what stands over them both: the Cross, blazing. This back-print sets the oldest meditation in Christendom against its only answer — death is certain, and Christ has already conquered it. Marked, as always, 1765.

Keep Death Daily Before Your Eyes

This isn't morbid. It's the clearest thing a man can do. St. Benedict told his monks to keep death daily before their eyes — not to frighten them, but to wake them up. Every Ash Wednesday the Church says it plainly: remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return. A man who truly remembers he will die stops spending his life on what won't follow him into the ground. He prays like it matters. He loves like there's a clock. And he fixes his eyes on the one Cross that turns the grave from a dead end into a door. The skull is the warning. The Cross is the way through.

Built on the Bayside 5100

Printed on the Bayside 5100 — a 6.1 oz, 100% pre-shrunk cotton heavyweight tee, made in the USA. Shoulder-to-shoulder taping, double-needle hems, full cut. A substantial American-made shirt built to take a beating and hold its shape wash after wash, not a thin promotional blank. You'll feel the difference the first time you put it on.
