In his thought-provoking article Live Your Life With an Eye on Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell, Father Jeffrey Kirby offers a powerful reflection on how the awareness of our ultimate end can shape the way we live today. Drawing from Catholic teaching, Fr. Kirby encourages readers to maintain a constant mindfulness of the four last things—Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell—as a means to live with purpose and clarity. He highlights that this perspective helps us align our choices with eternal truths, fostering a deeper commitment to holiness and moral integrity. He challenges us to live with a sense of urgency, not driven by fear, but by the hope and joy that comes from orienting our lives toward the promise of eternal life with God, while also recognizing the sobering reality of hell for those who reject Him. By keeping the end in mind, we are better equipped to live lives of virtue, make decisions rooted in faith, and embrace the love and mercy of God in our everyday actions.
