Jesus said, "He that doeth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God."
John 3:20-21

All that is good and true and beautiful in the world created by the Father springs from His being. And those of His beloved children who give their allegiance to Him do so through His initiative and through His continued protection and blessing. My risen life permeates the being and the actions of all who follow faithfully; Our Holy and Blessed Spirit gives light and power and renewal in The Way.

So it may be seen and understood that the faithful in life and good works are not themselves the creators of goodness but the agents of it. The truly virtuous do not take to themselves the virtue of self glorification but rejoice in the loving infusion of the Father's blessing which has made them so through their loving co-operation. Those who have done great things for Him and for their fellowmen proclaim without equivocation that they have but achieved that which it was given them to do, glorifying their Heavenly Father and thanking Him for the privilege of service. And the means to the end is achieved through the light which lighteth every man, and through every man's response to it.
