the ultimate goals...

The first one is, "Man’s goal on earth"...
We were created for eternal happiness with God in Heaven. Everything else must take second place in our life, because if we lose Heaven, we will be losing everything. The sure guide to Heaven is God’s holy will. If we follow it in our daily life, every moment on earth will be a sure step toward the perfect happiness which our heart craves.

And so, our God and loving Father will grant us the wisdom to think, speak, and act each day as HE wants us to. May we never be such a fool to as to disagree with HIS supreme goodness and wisdom. Nothing on earth can bring us any lasting happiness. Therefore, let us never sin for the sake of anything. We want to live for the perfect happiness for which He created us.

The second one is, "Friendship and love in Heaven"...
If we ever wrote down a list of God’s gifts to us, we would have to compose a book. Everything and everybody, whatever we may mention, is a gift of God for a definite purpose. All things, not just some things, are in our life for God’s good reasons.

In one way or another, they are meant to help us earn the unending happiness and glory of Heaven. We must reject any person or thing that leads us away from this goal by sin. All things are to be used wisely, that is, to help us live a good and useful life. By an intelligent use and control of life’s daily needs and activities, we prove our sincere desire for God’s eternal love and friendship in Heaven.

The third one is, "At the end of life"...
Where are the pleasures and joys of last year? Gone and forgotten. If they made us worse, we shall find death and judgment a little harder to face. Why do we fail to value things according to God’s way of thinking? He wants us to live a sinless and useful life. Even our pleasures should improve us in some way, makes us better able to do our work. Still we should try each day to be a little less unworthy of it.
