Our Goal and the Results

 

We are called to love our neighbor, but we are not called to seek out being loved in return.

We are called to holiness, but we are not called to be nice.

We are told that the world will hate us.

The more holy one becomes, the less he will be like the world and the world will like him less and less.

The man who is walking the path of holiness will be seen as a fool by the culture around him.
