Why live? “There is no good intellectual answer.”  Those who can see themselves, the world, the universe, and others as glorious creations and the events of their lives as blessings and opportunities have a perfectly wonderful intellectual reason for living. And it is simply this: To live fully to love God with all our mind, body and spirit, and to love others as ourselves. We all have gifts and skills and unique voices that can be honed for this purpose and if we orient ourselves to it then joy and purpose are to be found in all circumstances.
