Beauty of body attracts the eyes; beauty of soul attracts God. Man sees the face; God sees the soul. Bishop fulton sheen

From the book "To save thousands of souls " by fr Brett Brannen True freedom comes from sacrificing our own wants and desires to reach a greater good. Sometimes this means you cannot have everything you want. And there are some places you cannot go. But God made us for happiness and for greatness. And our happiness and greatness consist in discovering the plan of God for our life and then committing ourselves to this greater good, despite giving up some things. Remember that God does not need us. He is omnipotent. He is infinite in power and can build the Kingdom of God without our help. However, because he loves us, he wants us to have the privilege of cooperating with him. God gives us the opportunity as human beings to demonstrate our dignity by graciously saying yes to his call. This is why he invites us to search out, to discover and to embrace our vocation.

From the book "food for soul " by Peter kreeft page 10 God is the saint-maker. But we have to ask him, we have to want that. He gives that gift to whoever asks for it. It's of that gift that he says, "Seek and He you will find... [for] the one who seeks, finds" (Matt. 7:7-8). says, "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness / for they will be satisfied" (Matt. 5:6). Why does it happen only through love? Because as St. Augustine says, love is our gravity, love is what moves us, what motivates us to move: our love of the end that we move toward. For instance, if we see an ugly dog and a beautiful dog, we move away from the ugly dog, and we move toward the beautiful dog to pet it. Augustine defines evil as disordered love, and good as rightly ordered love: loving God with the love of adoration, our neighbors with charity, and the things of the world with moderation, to use them but not give our whole hearts to them. We are to use things and love persons, not use persons and love things. We are to adore God and use creatures, not adore creatures and try to use God.That's rightly ordered love.

“Tell me, oh! Tell me, Master, You teach people to live heroically. What must I do to rear this child so that we may be both in Your kingdom? Which words, what acts shall I teach her?” “No special acts or words are required. Be perfect, so that she may reflect your perfection.” “Yes, I do. It is justice. Master, I leave You. Bless a poor woman.” “Go and do not worry. God does not leave without help those who seek Him.” from "The Poem of the Man-God" by Books Valtorta, Maria . 247 - Jesus Speaks to Valeria of Matrimony, and Divorce

A virtuous life should spring naturally from a life of prayer and intimacy with Jesus. A man should be conscious of his sins and bothered by them. He should be trying very hard to live out the supernatural virtues infused at his Baptism: faith, hope, and charity; and to develop the intellectual virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude. From the book "To Save a Thousand Souls" by fr Brett Brannen

Inner beauty IS GREATER THAN outer beauty (1 Peter 3:3-4). Everyone is WONDERFULLY MADE (Psalm 139). There is no sexual intercourse in heaven because men and women will not marry or remain married to each other there (Matthew 22:30). Because we do not marry there, it also means we do not have sexual desires there. There is no childbearing or the desire for it in heaven because God will give everyone a name and place better than sons and daughters (Isaiah 56:4-5). Marriage, which is sexual intercourse, is a form of this world that will pass away (1 Corinthians 7:27-31). Earthly marriage is a representation of our union with Jesus in heaven and this will be infinitely better (Ephesians 5:31-33). Hell is forever and your body will be concious and burned with fire and infested with worms for eternity, and there is no sexual intercourse or childbearing there as well (Mark 9:48). Although we will not have sexual intercourse, we will still love our former spouses in a non-sexual way forever.
