March 8 “Do not model yourselves on the behavior of the world around you, but let your behavior change, modeled by your new mind. This is the only way to discover the will of God and to know what is good, what it is that God wants, what is the perfect thing to do” (Rm 12:2). It is not by giving in to the vices, the concupiscence, and the false opinions and views of the world that we will renew all things in Christ, but by first renewing ourselves, by becoming filled with the Spirit of Christ, by assimilating His teaching and His laws, preaching Christ to the world, and drawing everyone to Him. Wherever we are stationed, we must not only conduct ourselves properly and perform the duties entrusted to us as faithfully as possible, but we must also try to do our share for the common good of the Congregation. 89
