Most of us value good health, strength, well being, happiness, beauty and youthfulness. One becomes wholesome by taking good care of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and moral aspects.
The Beatitudes in the gospel respond to the natural desire for happiness. This desire is of Divine origin: God has placed it in the human heart in order to draw us to the One who alone can fulfill it. The Beatitudes reveal the goal of human existence, the ultimate end of human acts. In seeking God, one seeks a happy life. God alone satisfies and makes us wholesome. (Ref. CCC 1718)
Prayer :
O Lord, my body and mind draw life from my soul and my soul draws life from you. Let me seek you, my God, so that my soul may live fully and I may be wholesome. To you alone be all glory.
