We were created in the image and likeness of the Lord, and there's a reason for that. God wants us to be His faithful and beloved children, serving our neighbor in pursuit of reaching the Kingdom of Heaven.

We must practice what Sacred Scripture teaches us daily. And Father Eustace lived this throughout his life. He served and helped his neighbor, and never ceased to bring the Word of God and its teachings to the people. In one of the Blessed's writings, he spoke about this. Read below:

The end of man

Lord, make me know my end, so that I may know what I lack..

Let us place ourselves in the presence of our God, the creator who called us into existence, the God whom we worship everywhere and at all times, to be present in every instant of existence – past, present, and future – both here and elsewhere, for, more than the mortal being of our bodies, He surrounds and envelops us with His sovereign presence, as happens with plants, the sun, the stars, light, in short, with all creatures of creation, all of which have a limited and marked end, being dependent on the supreme being..

Having said this, we ask God: Lord, what is the end assigned to man by Your Majesty and goodness? And God commands us to learn to practice the words of Sacred Scripture: Man was created to give praise to God Our Lord, to render Him reverence or obedience and to serve Him body and soul in order to have, in the end, eternal salvation, grateful duties, which are less obligations and more attributes of nobility, of privileges proper to man.

But what is man? Among all visible creatures, he alone is rational, endowed with that excellent faculty of intelligence, to know and discern through free will, to choose with full responsibility and consequences – good or evil, truth or error, justice or iniquity, in a word, the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church, the only Divine institution, or the various errors of so many heresies and false human intentions spread throughout the earth?

Therefore, among all creatures that came from divine hands, solely by the will and exclusive capacity of the Creator, in the act of creation, man was the noblest and most elevated, by his attributes or faculties, and was undoubtedly created; that is, He, the Lord, formed us in Adam and Eve, so certain is it that we did not make ourselves, despite all the contradictions and fantasies of purveyors of pulp science..

Now, since man was made by God, whose infinite wisdom can do or create nothing without immediately proposing a worthy end – this God of all wisdom cannot fail to want and demand that his rational creature fulfill his defined purpose, nor can He remain indifferent on this point, for that would be repugnant to eternal wisdom, which is conservative, and which, therefore, for the very defense and survival of the species – knows how to intervene and constrain man to fulfill his purpose: to praise God, to give Him reverence, and to serve Him through deeds and not only words.
