Other people may be better at mingling in social events and in communicating with other people. They appear attractive, they attract the admiration of many. But not everyone who is praised is really good. Many are even criticized for standing up for the truth. There are people who are not adept at socializing with other men, but in their silent prayers, they can reach God’s Presence, and in this, they can find their joy. Only God is good. No person is really holy no matter how good he or she appears to be. If we had no need to be saved from ourselves, Jesus wouldn’t have died for us all. Let none boast therefore that he is kinder or braver or more patient. We do not earn God’s love with our goodness. We become good because God has guided us patiently towards the path of His goodness. All that we can offer God is our gratitude for all the MERCY that we have been given.
