The Road to Perfect Happiness

Christianity - Articles - Catholic Church

I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God; but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.

	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.
