Is Giving the Secret to Getting Ahead?Yes--because the dynamic at the heart of the Trinity is utter and absolute self-gift. Since the Trinity is the source all of that is, the universe is set up to sacramentally mediate self-gift through time and space between God and creatures, as well as between created beings. This is why life demands everything from us--either we participate in the dynamic of self-donation and receiving gratefully the gifts of others, or we attempt to control others and retain ourselves.
More simply: "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it." (Luke 9:24; Matthew 16:25; Luke 17:33; Mark 8:35; Matthew 10:39; John 12:25)
It's all in John Paul II, all in John Paul II--bless me, what do they teach in schools these days!
Happy Divine Mercy Sunday!
