Consolidates the vocation to which the Lord is calling ...

June 25

The Christian world appreciates the great honors, riches, vanities, amenities and everything you can offer this vilísimo world. Oh, fool, think again, remember that in baptism you renounced the world, you're dead to him. The Holy Spirit speaks through Paul tells you: "... you are dead to the world, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." Remember, oh, silly, not always the life of those living with the spirit of Jesus will remain hidden and unknown. Remember what is to come on the day of the Lord: "When Christ your life, then you also will be revealed with him in glory." "Dear - wrote the beloved Apostle St. John comforting the faithful - now we are children of God and not yet appear what we shall be. We know that when he appears we shall be like Him, for we shall see him as he is ". The certainty of such an enormous glory, oh, foolish, is not enough to make you go in yourself and make you settle down for the rest of your days, according to your vocation? (November 16, 1914, to Raffaelina Cerase - Ep. II, p. 226)
