Our society tells us the exact opposite, to maximize what we get, our comfort, our self, but when we follow this law of the world, we end up miserable, hurt, and resentful, full of bitterness and sadness, or worse.
 
When we follow God’s revealed truth and make a gift of ourselves, we find that every sacrifice can be united to our Lord’s and therefore is sweet and efficacious, that every trial is a hidden blessing and a chance for more grace, and every hurt is a time to grow closer in love through forgiveness.
 
May we all seek our Lord’s holy vocations for our lives, our personal call from Jesus Christ Himself, to love!
