What manner of faith do you practice?
The tempter1 acknowledges Christ, as the son of the living God– but doesn't Love2.
A good Christian(a child of God) acknowledges and believes in Christ, as the son of the living God– and Loves3.
What manner of faith do you practice?
1. The tempter– the devil.
2. His faith doesn't act in the virtue of Love. Love is not true to his nature.
3. Faith, Lovingly and Perseveringly follows Christ in deeds of Mercy and Love.

Life is Beautiful
Life is Beautiful- do not defile it with vain and faithless1 living.
Life is Precious- do not waste it in unfruitful2 living.
1. Life without the reverence of God.
2. Deeds which do not edify others.

Be like a Child
As we live through life, we grow into 'mature worldly beings'- rather than growing up into 'mature children of God'.
Jesus Christ exhorts us to be like a child- in our innocence1; in our humility; in our forgiveness; in our love towards God and our neighbor.
We should diligently preserve2 this Childlikeness - even while we are maturing.
Because once we lose this gentle innocence, then it becomes difficult on part of our maturity to live a life of faith in God; to love and forgive and be innocent as a little lamb.
1. Innocence= Childlike; Harmless (innocence will suffer in all humility but never offend- never harm.); having credulous faith (just a little evidence is enough, to believe- e.g. Apostle John); be humbly reliant (as a child is reliant on its mother for everything- we as mature children should be reliant on God.)
2. Preserve childlikeness= By staying close to God- through prayer; Holy Mass; Spiritual reading and spending time with little children.

The way of Love
Love1 lives according to the will of God2.
1. Christ is-'the Love'- of God.
Christ lived according to the will of God. He willingly and Lovingly sacrificed HIS life to fulfill HIS Father's will.
2. The will of God for our life is to listen to HIS Beloved Son- making HIS words our home and our life- to follow the way of 'Truth' and 'Love' which HE has marked for us, that we may prosper.
Love and Heavenly Father's will is the most important thing in this life.

Vanity
To live a worthy life is so difficult in this world. The world is
packed with much of vanity and less of righteousness. Things of the
world are so attractive; enticing and so pleasurable to the mind, that
we find it difficult to restrain our curiosity. Our curiosity runs wild-
desiring to explore every single created thing. Our curious mind craves
for the gratification1 of every worldly thing.
Adolescence is the most dangerous stage of human life- this is where the tempter lures us with every kind of vanity- We get drifted from the right path- we get distracted the most. We only come to our senses when our wrong choices hurt us; our wrong decisions betray us.
Vanity increasingly entangles us into every kind of curiosity- to seek one satisfaction after another. It makes us forget God. Furthermore, it makes us doubt in the existence of God. Consequently, it makes us incapable of loving one another. For when Vanity dwells in our heart, it leaves no place for God's Love. Vanity almost succeeds in turning us into an Atheist.
Vanity is so deceiving and dangerously intoxicating, that it binds us to remain in the state of deception- all our life. Furthermore, it numbs our faith in God- we cannot feel the presence of God; we do not feel the need for God. Our wrong priorities in living our life, leads us into every kind of mess- our world turns into hell.
Only a miracle of Grace can save us from the entanglement of the world and bring us closer to God.
1. We get into the habit of satisfying the cravings of our hungry mind- only to leave our heart completely dissatisfied.

Christ and the Learned
Christ comes to live in the heart of those Learned and Knowledgeable, who are willing to count their learning as nothing1 and in humility, to accept HIM as everything2.
1. Secondary to Christ- and keeping away Pride(of being learned). Knowing Christ is of supreme worth- Christ is the Wisdom of God.
2. Our Lord and our God.
