You will find, my friend, that the only possible way to find deep fulfillment and satisfaction in life is to make love your number one priority: center your entire life around loving others, loving He who is Love itself, and your soul will rejoice in the glory of finally finding its true purpose. Anything else is a distraction. Whether it's a hot job or a good day at the casino or a decadent meal or a nice car or a huge house, it will bring you only fragile, fleeting joy. Chasing after the comforts and pleasures of this world will lead only to frustration and emptiness. It is only by picking up your cross and seeking to follow the One who originally blazed the trail of a life of self-emptying love that the thirst from deep in your soul will finally be quenched.
This is what I have printed out and posted on my fridge.
This will be my mantra this Lent.
Everything that goes along with this and is in conformity to it will be my goal.
Peace.
Patience.
Gentleness.
Self-control.
Joy.
Prayer.
Adoration.
Penance.
Prayers for a beautiful Lent to all of my Bloggy-friends.
