What Is Your Purpose In Life?

[brgabesj]

purpose: live for everyone else. and please my Maker? parang ganun.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

The goal of our life is to live with God forever.

God who loves us, gave us life.

Our own response of love allows God's life to flow into us without limit.

 

All the things in this world are gifts from God,

presented to us so that we can know God more easily

and make a return of love more readily.

 

As a result, we appreciate and use all these gifts of God

insofar as they help us develop as loving persons.

But if any of these gifts become the center of our lives,

they displace God

and so hinder our growth toward our goal.

 

In everyday life, then, we must hold ourselves in balance

before all of these created gifts insofar as we have a choice

and are not bound by some obligation.

We should not fix our desires on health or sickness,

wealth or poverty, success or failure, a long life or short one.

For everything has the potential of calling forth in us

a deeper response to our life in God.

 

Our only desire and our one choice

should be this:

I want and I choose what better

leads to the

deepening of God's life in me.

 

-St. Ignatius as paraphrased by David l. Fleming, S.J. from the beginning of the Spiritual Exercises.

AMEN! To GOD be HIS Glory!

Careful, existentialism can push you over the edge.

 

But for me...

 

I exist for my daughter. Only for her.

[Guest Inquisitive]

An age old question which a person spends his lifetime answering it.

To love and to be love. To spread the message and not the virus... Amen! :hypocritesmiley:

...ultimately

I quote my one and only siggy, taken from the prayer of a saint,

 

"to fight, and not to heed the wounds..."

Can I remind you all - this is not the FIGHT CLUB.

 

Keep your fights to that thread and try not to distract from the topic. Other members who want to keep to the topic at hand deserve that courtesy.
