Hear, "listen carefully to what I say" (Acts 2:14). Bend the ear of your heart and obey the voice of the Son of God. Keep his precepts in the depths of your heart and fulfill perfectly his counsels.
"Give thanks to Yahweh for he is good" (Psalm 136:1) and extol him in your works, because he has sent you into the whole world for this, namely, to give testimony to his voice in word and work and to make known to all that there is no other Almighty besides him.
Letter to the Whole Order
Do we ever achieve the ultimate goal, or for that matter are we even privy to peer at the top of that mountain from afar? When we are climbing, it's so easy to slip and slide back down that mountainside time and time again...but praise be to God that He's always there to pick us up, dust us off, and send us climbing back up...
