The Road to Perfect Happiness

Christianity - Articles - Catholic Church

And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

	The Road to Perfect Happiness

By the Publisher
Love One Another! 2/2003 → Catholic Church

Perfect happiness is within the reach of every one of us, if only we will strive for holiness in love. And since Jesus is Love incarnate, it is from Him that we must learn to love. Perfect happiness is achievable by those who strive for holiness in the love of Christ.

Mother Teresa often said: “You must be holy where you are, while I must be holy where God has sent me. So there is nothing extraordinary about being holy. Holiness is not a luxury for the select few. It is our normal duty, yours as well as mine. That is what we were made for”. May Mother Teresa’s story and example prompt us to quicken our desire for holiness and to advance boldly in the dim light of faith toward full happiness in heaven.
