The most credible message is the one that comes from our life, totally taken and guided by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Try to get in through the narrow gate. Wide and smooth is the road that leads to destruction. The majority are taking that route. Narrow and rough is the road that leads to life. Only a minority discover it.
Matthew 7:13-14
Don’t pile up possessions here on earth, where moths and insects eat away and where burglars break in and steal. Instead, gather your nest egg in heaven, where neither moths nor insets eat away and where no burglars break in or steal. As you know, what you treasure is your heart’s true measure.
Matthew 6:19-21
“Don’t imagine that I have come to annul the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to annul but to fulfill…Let me tell you, unless you live your religion more fully than the scholars and Pharisees, you won’t set foot in the empire of Heaven.”
Matthew 5:17,20
This translation comes from “The Complete Gospels, Fourth Edition”.
Let yourselves be charmed by Christ, the Infinite who appeared among you in visible and imitable form. Let yourselves be attracted by His example, which has changed the history of the world and directed it toward an exhilarating goal. Let yourselves be loved by the love of the Holy Spirit, who wishes to turn you away from worldly things to begin in you the life of the new self, created in God’s way in righteousness and true holiness (Eph 4:24). Fall in love with Jesus Christ, to live His very life, so that our world may have life in the light of the Gospel.
Pope John Paul II (via amsilly)
