Faithful and fruitful

This should be the ideal condition we have to pursue and achieve with respect to any commitment we enter into.

- Fr. Roy Cimagala

Starting with our own birth where we are already committed, albeit unknowingly at first, to live our life according to God's plan, all the way to the different commitments we enter into during our baptism, and other states in life, we should try our best, with God's grace, to be ever faithful and fruitful.

Everyone should be made to be aware of this duty and taught how to pursue that condition. We just cannot live our life without any sense of commitment. That would mean that we would have no clear purpose in our life.

Of course, the usual thing that happens is that everyone can have some sense of purpose with its accompanying commitment. But unfortunately, that sense of purpose is usually not that serious. It can easily vary and even abandoned according to mood, fashion, and trends around. To top it all, it is a sense of purpose that misses the real and ultimate purpose of our life.
