OF THE DAY
ST PETER CHRYSOLOGUS, BISHOP, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH
Jer 15: 10, 16-20
Ps  59: 2-18
Mt 13: 44-46

Our life, for each one as for the institute, is a continuing history of graces: grace after grace. It is religious life for sanctification and spirituality in Christ and apostolate according to the needs of the times. The horizon of heaven is every (even? ever?) more resplendent if we are always tending towards perfection (SP Jul-Aug 1964).
 
From Father Tom: "The horizon of heaven is ever more resplendent". Resplendent, yes, promising endless rest and happiness, yes...but not automatically following a well-spent life. We are always "useless servants," not conferring some benefit on God but rather receiving everything. When He rewards us, He simply crowns His own gifts.
