Life

 I have come that you may have life.---Jesus

 

Life must be very important to God. He thinks so highly of our lives that He suffered on a cross. This is so easily taken for granted by all of us daily. This is one reason we should study the lives of the Saints, and especially that of our Lady. They remind us of who we are by who they are. They came before us and learned how to see themselves through the eyes of God. This is our great challenge, to see ourselves the way God sees us. St. Therese, the Little Flower, can teach us about this. A great place to begin our contemplation is on the words of Jesus. "I have come that you may have life." The life He was speaking of is life with Him forever, and by His grace, it begins here and now.
