Love is not pompous. There was a sick man on his bed. He warned the children, telling them that pompousness makes you empty. Because he remembered all the wealth he amassed, and he realized that the thing that gave him joy is not all this world. The only thing he remembers is the day he helped someone. That was his joy. The people who are now there because of the good relationship he had with them.
That was the joy. Being pompous because we have something doesn’t lead us anywhere, and he warns his children because it leads us but to emptiness. Remember, the Lord doesn’t say, don’t appreciate. He wants us to appreciate what he has given to us, so we have to praise him, glorify him, appreciate him, and don’t be pompous about it.

Ecclesiastes 9:7, “Go eat your bread with enjoyment and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.” Listen. It is only when God approves what you do that you can be happy. Some of us take it the other way around. But God approves, and then happiness comes. In my development work, when a donor gives a gift of a water well to…

Contentment with God
Have you heard of the poem that says, “He that is slow needs fear no fall, he that is slow, no pride. He that is humble shall ever have God to be his guide.” God’s contentment to, I crave, that you should crave. We seek contentment or happiness. But where will you get the real contentment? Where?

Confession
Need to get something off your chest? This one is for you. So, the power to forgive sin was given to the apostles. He said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” We will sin, and if you hold it to yourself, it will crush you. And who is the best person for you to pour out this? To the person who has been given the power. The apostles handed down this power from the Pope to the bishops and the priests. Because the Lord knows we are weak…
