As we mature naturally and spiritually we become more and more convinced that we are living for a purpose. This conviction underlies our motivations, our outlook and our actions. It provides the meaning, the true significance, that drives our will. The purpose of our lives, we come to realize, is to partake in and to participate in the unfolding goodness of Creation. Of course we do not always see that our purpose is clear, or that we are successful in achieving it. It is not that we understand, but we learn to live as if we understood.
