Live life to the limit

“Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say, whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.” Pope Paul VI

When I think of this quote above, a young professional man immediately pops in my mind. He recently graduated from Notre Dame, works with a specialized group at Deloitte during the day and is starting two businesses on the side in his limited free time. He attends daily Mass a few times a week, prays his rosary on the way to work and is currently spear heading a young professionals group that meets for Mass every two weeks and will soon be volunteering in a soup kitchen on a regular basis. There is truly a sense of urgency and purpose in this young man and he is certainly not “waiting for tomorrow.”
