We love our life, cling to it, hug it, study how to prolong it, rebel if God thinks fit to shorten its span, nay, when we have run our scriptural appointed course – “three score and ten and what is more of them is labour and sorrow” (Psalm 89) – we hunger for more. But do we ever seriously ask ourselves: “Does this life carry any responsibility with it?”

Father Doyle was a deep thinker, a philosopher, perhaps? His questions led to God, his thoughts weighed the importance of living our life with awareness of the life to come; a life lived for and with God, a life that brought with it the duty to care for our neighbor, and share with him the knowledge of God, a love for God, and a willingness to serve God. Yes, Father Doyle was correct, each one of us has a responsibility towards God, and to our neighbor.
Very well stated Sister Michele.
