This is a question begging for answers. God has a purpose, that we might be His servant through whom He will show His glory (Is 49:3). This is our great privilege, to be able to be God’s instrument, to do His very will, to accomplish His divine purpose for the life of the world.

As such we must respond. How? “You must keep his statutes and commandments which I enjoin on you today, that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may have long life on the land which the Lord, your God, is giving you forever.” (Dt 4:40).

First, we must obey God. God gives us the Ten Commandments (through Moses at Mount Sinai) plus all the other commandments given by Jesus directly and through his disciples. For us as CFC-FFL, there are two basic commandments that can encompass everything else. One, we are to grow in holiness (1 Pt 1:15-16), and two, we are to do the work of evangelization and mission (Mk 16:15).

Second, we must observe God’s way of life as given to us. As CFC-FFL, this way of life is represented by our covenant. We are to be faithful to our covenant, knowing that this is not meant to burden us, but to support us to live out our calling. God calls us not only as individuals and as families, but as a community, as a family of families. We can only be properly formed and become what God intends if we remain faithful to every aspect of our covenant.

Three, we must realize that our work of evangelization is done within the context of renewing the family and defending life. When we obey God’s commands and live His way of life, then, as Moses says, our children will prosper and we will have a long life on the land. Obedience directly impacts on family and life.
We have already seenallowed to see that God and is victorious, and His strong right hand continues to be outstretched. In that let us rejoice, and confidently march on into the promised land.
