Ecclesiastes 9:7, “Go eat your bread with enjoyment and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.” Listen. It is only when God approves what you do that you can be happy. Some of us take it the other way around. But God approves, and then happiness comes. In my development work, when a donor gives a gift of a water well to a village, the people are so happy. And I take their photographs, and I send them to the donor, and the donor is happy. The donor gives because he believes in God and wants to keep God’s command of helping others. And the receivers are also happy because they know that all good gifts come from God. Let us enjoy God’s gifts, but let us remember to share.

Yearning For God
Listen. I haven’t tried to die, so I can’t explain what I don’t know. But this is what I’m trying to say: there is a struggle in that moment of death. All hope is almost lost. And suddenly, it is clear that this person is about to die. Saint Augustine said, “We yearn for the Lord.” That yearning for God may come fully to you. At that moment, you have no more hope of anything other than the God who made you, who you are…

Struggles with Relationships
Are you struggling in your relationship? You should check this out. There is this person who always gets on your nerves. Whatever you do is wrong. You have the feeling this person hates you. Most of us go through this. Sometimes it’s your boss. Sometimes, it’s your coworker. Sometimes even in your house, sometimes your children, even your parents. It’s hard. It is hard to love.

Considering a Vocation?
For the person considering a vocation. I was one of those who were laughing at those who wanted to be nuns until the Lord captured me. When you think about it, you see that you did not choose for yourself. The story of most people whom the Lord calls, you know the Lord chose them. Do you remember Saul on his way to destroy Christians? He had that voice. When Ananias was told to go to Saul, Ananias was afraid, and…
