Satan is a master of deception. He makes sinners imagine that by indulging their sensual appetites they will find happiness and peace. But there is in fact no peace for those who choose to offend God. The enemies of God lead lives of misery. Unlike brute animals, we as human beings have been created for God. We have been made to love God and to be united with Him. Man can only be made happy by God. It is impossible for the world to make man happy. All worldly goods are nothing but riches, honors and sensual pleasures. The words of Saint John: “All that is in the world is the concupiscence of the eyes and the pride of life.”
It is true that earthly goods are capable of puffing a man up, but they will never make a man happy or content. “Inflari potest, satiari non potest.” Many expect to find peace in accumulating riches. The fact is that large quantities of money do not close, but rather extend the jaws of avarice. In other words, the enjoyment of riches excites, rather than satisfies the desire for wealth. Worldlings toil and labor to acquire an increase of wealth and property, but never enjoy rest. The more they accumulate riches, the hungrier they become for them. The psalmist says: “The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger; but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good!” Of all the men in the world, the rich are among the most miserable. The more they possess, the more they desire to possess. They never succeed in attaining all the objects of their wishes, and therefore they are far poorer than men who seek God alone. These are the men who are truly rich. They are content with their condition. They find God in every good.

God created us to be happy. Happiness cannot be found in wealth, honors, health or any other earthly satisfaction. Happiness may only be found in knowing and loving God. Original sin deprived man of sanctifying grace, but God loved us so much that He delivered us from Satan’s power through the death of His Son.
Saint Paul preached the Gospel foretold by the prophets and fulfilled by the Word made flesh and by His work of salvation. God called Saint Paul through the power of the Holy Spirit to carry on His work of salvation. Saint Paul’s preaching was effective due to the working of the Holy Spirit. The same is true of preachers today. It is the Holy Spirit working in them as well as in those who listen.
In the early years of the Church the proclamation of the Gospel was accompanied by special graces of the Holy Spirit, such as prophecy, miracles, or the gift of tongues. This meant the fulfillment of the ancient prophecies: “I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even upon the menservants and maidservants in those days, I will pour out my spirit” (Joel 3:1-3).
The dawn of the Christian era brought forth the activity of the Holy Spirit throughout the Church and the world. The Holy Sprit is the principal agent of evangelization. It is the Holy Spirit who impels each person to proclaim the Gospel. It is the Holy Spirit who causes the Word of salvation to be accepted and understood.
We all must therefore call upon the Holy Spirit to enlighten us. We must beseech the Holy Spirit to inspire us to be more effective evangelists. We must constantly fulfill our responsibility to proclaim the Gospel.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
