The purpose of life is not to be
happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it
make some difference that you have lived and lived well. No one is useless in
this world who lightens the burdens of another. There is no exercise better for
the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. And when we give cheerfully
and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.
Last November 10, 2013, the Canossian Youth of Marikina, postulants together with family and friends of Mrs. Rosalie Gonzales shared time with the abandoned lolos and lolas of Luwalhati ng Maynila. In the preparation, the youth decided to present song and dance presentations. But during the program it turned out that they are the ones who did all the presentations for whole the program from modern to modern.They really did hit the dance floor with their performances
"Doing
what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness."
The purpose of the sponsors and the Canossian community is to share time, talent and love but unexpectedly as one of the youth said "Hindi po namin akalain na pati kami
ay mapapasaya nila. Ang saya-saya pong tumulong. Sana po marami pa
kaming mapasaya." This proves that really life is like an echo. It bounces back what you give, what you do to others, what you say about others.
“You
only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ― Mae West
Doing meaningful and fruitful acts for others made the youth and sponsors believe that they are doing it right in Making Jesus Known and Loved.
