The highest purpose and goal of our life is union with God in Heaven. Therefore, let our intentions throughout the day be guided by this truth. In all things lets' be sure to stay on the path which leads to Heaven. Lets' not become too deeply interested in the passing desires and brief enjoyments of this earthly life.
God has given us everything that we are and everything we have. All things come to us from God, the Supreme Good. Whatever comes, lets' accept it, enjoy it, as God wishes and as much as God wishes.
If we think only of satisfying ourselves, without considering God's approval, our mind becomes confused and our will becomes weak. Mistakes and sins will rob us of peace on earth and of unending happiness in heaven. In all things, therefore, lets' keep our eyes on God.
Happy are those who desire only what God wants, trying steadily to do God's will. Such people do not let themselves become completely absorbed by their daily activities. They frequently offer their activities to God. They see the brevity of human contentment on earth.
Lets' examine our motives in our daily words and actions. And find out how we may please God more, and avoid everything which may draw us away from God.
LETS' THINK! We were created for eternal happiness with God in Heaven. Everything else must take second place in our lives because if we lose Heaven, we will be losing everything. The sure guide to heaven is God's holy will. If we follow it in our daily lives, every moment on earth will be a sure step toward the perfect happiness which our heart craves.
AND LETS' PRAY! Our God and loving Father, grant us the wisdom to think, speak, and act each day as You want us to. May we never be such fools as to disagree with Your Supreme goodness and wisdom. Nothing on earth can bring us any lasting happiness. Therefore, let us never sin for the sake of anything. We want to live for the perfect happiness for which You created us. AMEN!
