"'You are fine just the way you are.'
"Those who have attended secular educational institutions in the past few decades have heard this mantra of self-acceptance repeated ad nauseam. We even hear the line echoed on tv or in our songs and music. There is something reassuring about this line because it is half true. Indeed, God loves us and we are loved just the way we are because of God’s infinite goodness. And that is a profound and wonderful truth.
"However, after we experience the great peace of knowing God's love for us, which quiets our anxieties and insecurities, we find another deep desire stirring within us. We desire greatness because we are made for greatness."
In a recent commentary, Brother John Paul Kern, O.P., reflected on our call to greatness through giving glory to God in our lives.
