We are the work of their hands

January 23

Why , then, do we live ? After we were dedicated to him in baptism , we are all in Jesus Christ. Therefore , Christians should have as the saying yours this holy Apostle: " For me to live is Christ," I live for Jesus Christ, for His glory I live , I live to serve , live to love . And when God wants us to take life , feeling, affection, we should have should be precisely who , after fatigue , will receive the reward, who , after the fight , he will receive the crown .Yes like us , like us , oh, my dear Raffaelina , savor this sublime disposition of the soul of this great apostle! Yes , it is true that all souls who love God are willing to do anything for the love of God himself, taking the full conviction that everything is in their own benefit. We 're always prepared to recognize in all the events of life the wise order of divine providence , let us worship and dispongamos our will to shape it always and everywhere to God , because thus glorify the heavenly Father and all we will be beneficial for eternal life .
