The principal and ultimate end of all we do

Given who we really are and how we are in this life, we should make sure that everything that we do knowingly and intentionally should have God as its principal and ultimate end.

- Fr. Roy Cimagala

That's because God is our creator who created us in his very image and likeness. As such we are supposed to share in his very life and nature. That's the goal that we have to pursue in this life which is actually some kind of a testing ground to see whether what God wants us to be is also what we ourselves would like to be.

And that means that we are expected to do everything with God and for God. That way, with whatever we do in this life, we would be approaching or pursuing the real and ultimate goal of our life. We should have the sensation that each day we are becoming more and more like God as he wants us to be.

We need to realize that everything that we do is actually a choice we are given to see if we want to be like God or we would just like to be on our own which, in the end, would lead us nowhere but to be against God.
