DUTY TO GOD

When you have done all that is commanded you, say,

`We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'

Luke 17:10

Can a man be of benefit to God? Can even a wise man benefit him? (Jb 22:2)

God is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else (Acts 17:25). Doing your duty to God is by way of living a life with a perfectly good conscience before Him (Acts 23:1).

What does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul (Dt. 10:12). The fear of the Lord--that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding (Jb 28:28).

The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man (Eccl 12:13).

GLORIOUS JOURNEY

Sing praise to the Lord for his glorious achievement; let this be known throughout all the earth. (Isaiah 12:5)

In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised holy Spirit, which is the first installment of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s possession, to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day pours out the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge. Not a word nor a discourse whose voice is not heard; through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of the world, their message. (Psalm 19:2-5)

HOPE FOR GLORY

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6)

He received dominion, glory, and kingship; nations and peoples of every language serve him. (Daniel 7:14)

God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory. (Colossians 1:27)

If Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. (Romans 8:10-11)

The Lord chiefly desires of us that we should be completely perfect, that we may be wholly one with Him. Let us aim, therefore, at whatever we need to reach this. -- St. Teresa

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES

Of us God demands purity of heart, that purity which is the life of the soul. He wants besides, since we possess no virtues worthy of Him, a deep respect and true humility.

Let us say to Him: " Lord I am not worthy to receive Thee. Depart from me, for I am a miserable sinner!"

This conviction makes up for our shortcomings. Our Lord is content with it and, when he comes to us, He will give us all that we lack.

Let us simply be faithful, humble, and confident. He will do the rest. -- St. Peter Eymard
