All that we do is a means to an end but love is an end in itself because God is love. Love will be our eternal life. We cannot separate love for God from love for man. We acknowledge God easily but our brother? Those with whom we do not identify – his background, education, race, complexion. We could not have imagined that love for God could be so hard - Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
For by doing what God demands of us with total surrender of our innermost being, we cause the divine life to become our own inner life. Entering into ourselves, we find God in our own selves - Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
So my dear brothers and sisters, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity today, let us appreciate and proclaim the love of the Triune God, by going out and making disciples of all nations; by teaching them to observe all that God has commanded us; and by reminding all that God is always with us, until the end of the age.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of Christ into Heaven today, let us acknowledge our risen Lord as our Messiah by truly believing in Him, by deepening our hope and desire to attain the kingdom of God, and by witnessing to Him in the world today when we proclaim and live out His gospel and our faith in Him in the world.
