We are infinitely loved, valued, respected, cared for, protected, instructed, and perfected. Our duty is to love as Jesus loved.
To love our Lord, our God, with all our strength, with our entire being, with everything we can. To love, love, and love; to return all the affection we receive every day from our Heavenly Father.
This is all that matters: all that God wants from us is simply our love, our relationship and communion with Him.
Everything in life, if it brings us closer to this, is beneficial; if it draws us away from this, it is harmful. Our soul is made in the image and likeness of the Lord. In love, we live in harmony; without love, we live in disharmony.
This is what the law establishes: “And Jesus said unto him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” — Matthew 22:37–39.
