DEAR EDITOR: It frightens me when I look around me and I see all the sad soul of our society. Do we expect God to come to us with His blessings and save us?He says look unto Me and be saved. The very thing we look for, we shallfind if we will concentrate on Him. Every Christian has to partake of whatwas the essence of the Incarnation. He must bring the thing that tells inthe long run, for God and for men is the steady persevering work in the unseen. The only way to keep the life, moral and uncrushed, is to livelooking for God. Allow nothing to keep you from looking God sternly in theface about yourself and about your goals.

We look for God to manifest Himself to His children: God only manifests Himself in His children,” other people see the manifestation, the child of God does not. The word of God is a light for our path. We must assimilate(take up and absorb as nourishment) it in faith and prayer and put it into practice. This is how moral conscience is formed. Remember conscience isman’s most secret core, and his sanctuary. There, he is alone with Godwhose voice echoes in the abyss of his mind. It is the judgement by whichthat of reason, the human person recognizes the moral quality of concrete acts. A well-formed conscience is upright and truthful. It formulates itsjudgement according to reason, in conformity with the true good will by the wisdom of the Creator.

The objective chosen is a good toward which the will deliberately directs itself. The morality of human acts depends on the objective chosen, theend in view of the intention and the circumstance of the action. When manacts deliberately, man is so to speak to the father of his acts. The actsare freely chosen in consequence of judgement of conscience and can be m morally evaluated. They are either good or evil. The object, the intentionand the circumstance make up the source of constitutive elements of the morality of human acts. The end is the first goal of the intention andindicates the purpose pursued in the action. The movement of the willtoward the end, the circumstance including the consequences, are secondary elements of a moral act. They contribute to increasing ordiminishing the moral goodness or evil of human acts.

Faith without work is dead. We must come to the understanding of thatwhich is true. In Mark 2:5 when Jesus saw their faith, He said to theparalytic: “Child, your sins are forgiven.” Listen to the tenderness -“Child, your sins are forgiven.” But we must come to Him in humility, andopen our hearts as that of innocent children to receive His goodness and the grace of God.

May God bless all who reads my words.
