I saw myself in a mirror this morning. When you look at yourself, it's good to ask if you see a person that is truly happy. If not, then you probably have been shaped too much by the world and need Jesus to lift you up. As St. Bonaventure explains: "Happiness is nothing other than the enjoyment of the highest good. Since the highest good is above, no one can be made happy unless he rises above himself. But we cannot rise above ourselves unless a higher power lifts us up. Divine aid is needed, and is available to those who seek it from their hearts humbly and devoutly through prayer."
