During the month of November, we walk pensively along silent aisles at tranquil cemeteries. We stop for a brief moment, when our attention is directed toward a grave marker of an old tomb covered by fallen leaves. On this damaged tooth that pierces the gravesite, we find an appropriate inscription: "Time is running out; eternity waits." Death is inherent in our lives, as it is the end of our journey on this earth.
With the first cry of an infant’s life, the clock hands mark his progress on the road to eternity. At that instant this new person receives his life’s calling – a call to holiness. Furthermore, he is given a free will, which can be used to shape his holiness.
