to spiritual matters. W e were created to His own im age and
likeness. W e need sanctifying grace which is His life within us,
and w e lose it through Mortal Sin. When w e live in mortal sin,
our souls are spiritually dead. So, what w e do, are things
contrary to G od's grace - w e act according to the flesh and
w e are controlled by evil passions. Once w e abandon God
w e becom e mere creatures, w e return to our animalistic
instincts.
God said without Me you are nothing.
W e lose our dignity o f children o f God. W e lose class,
morality, dignity, bccome selfish, hateful and self-centered,
destructive to se lf and others. That is why w e have so much
evil in the world today.

The behavior and the attitude o f our society now is very,
very sad, bad, and w ill continue i f w e don’t stop tp look and
to listen. These words, stop, look & listen, were very
important when w e started our first year in school. Those
teachers and parents were living in a nation under God. They
believed in principles and standards. We too can restore
them.
