GOOD WORKS

"Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works
and give glory to your Father who is in heaven".

Matthew 5:16

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard (Isaiah 58:7-8).

If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday (Isaiah 58:10).

The Greatest Glory is to be One with Jesus!

The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken (Isaiah 40:5).

And he said to me, "You are my servant, in whom I will be glorified" (Isaiah 49:3).

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16).

I live in the Glory of God's Name

Their posterity will continue for ever, and their glory will not be blotted out (Sirach 44:13).

The Lord chiefly desires of us that we should be completely perfect, that we may be wholly one with Him. Let us aim, therefore, at whatever we need to reach this. -- St. Teresa

I give thee thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing thy praise; I bow down toward thy holy temple and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness; for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word.

On the day I called, thou didst answer me, my strength of soul thou didst increase.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth; and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD (Psalms 138:1-5).

Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen (Revelation 7:12)

Eternal God, behold me prostrate before your immense majesty, humbly adoring you. I offer you all my thoughts, words, and actions of this day. I offer them all to be thought, spoken, and done entirely for love of you, for your glory, to fulfill your divine will, to serve you, to praise you, and bless you. I wish and intend to do everything in union with the most pure intentions of Jesus and Mary (St. John Leonardi).

Blessed be his glorious name for ever; may his glory fill the whole earth! Amen and Amen! (Psalm 72:19)
