Glory to God!

I wanted to share some of the wisdom of Pope Benedict with you. This is how we are all to live. Total service to God. As many of the saints have said...."He does not promise us happiness in this world", although most of us do find happiness and great joy among the trials and crosses. The great rewards are yet to come in the kingdom of God.

The Holy Father concluded his remarks to the altar servers gathered in Rome last month by telling them, “You lend Jesus your hands, your thoughts, your time. He will not fail to reward you, giving you true joy and enabling you to feel where the fullest happiness is…. He asks of us fidelity in daily tasks, a witness to his love, going to church through inner conviction and for the joy of his presence. Thus we can also make known to our friends that Jesus is alive.”
