“If our lives just ‘end’, our friends will ask: How much did he leave?  But if our life is ‘finished’, our friends will ask: How much did he take with him?  A finished life is not measured by years but by deeds; not by the time spent in the vineyard, but by the work done.  In a short time a man may fulfill many years; even those who come at the eleventh hour may finish their lives; even those who come to God like the thief at the last breath, may finish their lives in the Kingdom of God.  Not for them the sad words of regret: ‘Too late, O ancient Beauty, have I loved Thee.’” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Calvary and the Mass)
