God calls us at every moment. He wants to see us participating in His work, serving and being active workers here on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Father Eust\u00e1quio always lived this calling from God intensely, dedicating himself entirely to service to the Church and his neighbor. On this subject, he wrote the following text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c"We not only owe service to the Lord our God, but we can always serve in some way, even in the most obscure ways of all.".<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, dear brothers, the harvest is plentiful, there is room and more than enough work for everyone, and it depends only on our good will and zeal to accomplish anything, even the humblest and simplest task, in favor of God's holy cause.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing is more dignified, honorable, or just than for all of us, without exception, to be active and contented workers in the service of the Lord's glory and the good of our neighbor, which is within our reach and power, for absolutely nothing, within or outside of ourselves, can ever prevent us from doing so if we truly wish to dedicate our humble efforts to the highest and principal of all human obligations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, who among us can consider ourselves exempt from this first and most excellent duty, the fulfillment of which will also result in the salvation of our own soul, which is the greatest personal good of man?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the two main subjects for man in this world are addressed: the obligation to serve God, first and foremost, and, secondly, to save his own soul or that of his neighbor, with the added advantage that, given to these noble tasks, man enjoys the greatest inner good and is, so to speak, free from external evils, because no defense is as powerful as the armor of virtue founded on God, Our Lord.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Divine Master already stated it in the Holy Gospel: "Only one thing is necessary, because in fact, all the others, for which men toil and are so hostile, add absolutely no new value to man, but, on the contrary, tend to disfigure him, making him possessed and not a possessor, so great and serious are the risks and snares of riches, positions, and human vanities."\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Text taken from the Sacred Hearts Parish Bulletin, dated 1950\/1952.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Deus nos chama a todo momento.
