Proverbs 2:1-9. Matt. 19:27-29
All seekers after truth
are fulfilled according
to the measure of their
earnestness and faithfulness.
All who have applied themselves
to the search in serious
commitment will testify
to this unchanging fact
according to the depth of
their commitment.
Life is a jewel of inexpressible
and inexhaustible beauty.
True life is priceless,
with manifold and various
reflections, depths and
fascinations. And, like
every priceless gift, of
inexhaustible meaning, beauty
, and significance beyond
itself.
But only those who give
themselves in absolute self-giving
to the prize We put before
them will attain to life
in all its fullness, for
they are not limited or
hindered by self-love.
Each child of man is called
to full engagement in the
joyous and progressive dance
of life and love, and loyalty
to the vision of ineffable
and unchanging joy and beauty
which will dissolve into
reality as he remains within
the rhythm of Our saving,
sanctifying love.
