The comforter should quiet your fears
The world deceives by placing all the advantages and profits they offer and the disadvantages that would be by rejecting them. They throw a shade on the privations that must be submitted to, labor that must be sustained, the sacrifices that must be made, and the sufferings that must be endured…
How different is Christ…
Happiness is spiritual, future, in another kingdom and that he who entered into it must forsake all
We must see ourselves not as salesmen, managers, homakers and students. We must see ourselves as witnesses of Jesus Christ and his power to save sinners, who just happen to be salesmen, managers, homakers and students.
Our vocation is that of Christian witness, while the other things we are involved in are merely avocations.
