ß2 It is above all through a holy, consecrated and sinless life
that we have to make ourselves instruments of divine praise
and glory. 11
ß3 Our journey of life should be one of a close following of
Jesus, in which we steadily move together with him to the
Father and His people.
ß4 This entails that each one of us live, participating daily in
his self-sacrifice on the cross, by taking oneís own cross.

ß5 Such a life of sacrifice, founded on prayer, suffering and
service, will make us persons procuring Godís glory by

shed on the cross for the redemption of the world; persons
transmitting that love to the entire world, especially to the
orphaned and supportless.
