One Is Only Happy When He is Doing the Will of God and Assumes His Vocation!

I would like to say is that all of us are called to Heaven. And consequently called to happiness. For there is not exist happiness without fidelity to the call of God.

If you have a vocation to the priesthood, and, in fear, decide to marry, certainly you will be a frustrated person. The opposite is also true in this sense it is extremely important to discern well our vocation and after discernment to live faithfully to it.

Perhaps I am over emphasizing this, but it is always good to remember that we are all made for eternal life. Our first vocation is to holiness. Do not forget, said my brother, you were born to go to Heaven ! And all that which we live here on the Earth: priesthood, religious life, consecration, marriage, etc.; and also specific vocations, lawyer, professor, doctor, engineer, carpenter, etc. all these that we live here on Earth also have a goal, to arrive in Heaven.

No one was born to be unhappy, to go to Hell. We are predestined to Heaven. However, that depends on us and our collaborating with the grace of God to arrive to eternal life.

Assuming this truth, assuming this vocation! Stop suffering, or better still, stop cultivating suffering. Always we will pass through difficulties, but we support and conquer with Christ.

That the Lord pours over you the Holy Spirit and thus brings to you anew the desire for holiness.

We are together!
