Christ exhorts us to imitate His life and His ways, if we truly desire to be enlightened and free of all blindness of heart. Let it be our main concern to meditate on the life of Jesus Christ.
If you want to understand Christ’s words and relish them fully, you must strive to conform your life to His.
This is the highest wisdom: to despise the world and [to] seek the kingdom of heaven.
It is vanity to seek riches that are sure to perish and to put your hope in them. It is vanity to pursue honors and to set yourself up on a pedestal. It is vanity to follow the desires of the flesh and to crave things which will eventually bring you heavy punishment. It is vanity to wish for a long life and to care little about leading a good life. It is vanity to give thought only to this present life and not to think of the one that is to come. It is vanity to love what is transitory and not to hasten to where everlasting joy abides.
