QUOTE…

.

“There’s nothing more contradictory than an unenthusiastic Christian.

.

The Bible tells us that God loves us so much,

in fact, that God gave His only Son

so that all who believe in Him will have everlasting life.

.

Nothing not even death can separate us from God’s love!

If we really believe that, we can’t help but overflow with joy!”

– Ronald Newhouse

I lift my heart to You, my God,

I lift my hands in praise.

My soul rejoices in You, my God,

because there is none like You

and You are all I need.

I have chosen between darkness and light,

and I have chosen You, O God.

Father, I entrust myself joyfully to You,

knowing that You love me like no other.

You are my strength,

You are my all…and I sing for joy.

FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

Moral perfection consists in man’s being moved to the good

not by his will alone, but also by his sensitive appetite,

as in the words of the psalm:

"My heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God." (Ps 84:2)

.

[CCC 1770]

.

.

The perfection of the moral good

consists in man’s being moved to the good

not only by his will

but also by his "heart."

.

[CCC 1775]
