Wisdom

It is foolish to consecrate our time, our energy, our life, to accumulate material wealth that we will have to leave behind, anyway, when we die.

Wisdom consists in accumulating true values, the ones that last and that, by their own nature, belong already to eternity. These values are all the actions that we do, not as a duty but out of love, for the good of others, forgetting ourselves in order to serve, to give of ourselves... by loving.

By orienting our life this way, our chores will become pleasant, and the most insignificant actions will be transformed, because they will have a very special meaning: they will have been done out of love.

Love is the very nature of God. Since God is not matter like us, but Spirit, He is not limited by what we call "time"; He is eternal. Likewise all the actions we perform for love of Him will be of the same nature.

The true meaning of our passage through this life is not the enjoyment of material things, but to prepare together, in unity and mutual help, our entrance to the real LIFE.
