How can we reconcile this with Jesus’ invitation to renounce ourselves and therefore, to “annul ourselves,” in order to follow him and to have Eternal Life?”"Maria - Roma Jesus did not come on earth solely to prepare us for Eternal Life. Certainly, this was his main mission. He was also concerned with the earthly life of men and women. His public life was filled with so many physical miracles! He taught us to ask the Father for our daily bread, to trust him for what we will wear and what we will eat. He promised the hundredfold in this life to those who put him in the first place in their heart, putting aside all other affections…. However, what he wants is that already here on earth we live like when we will be in heaven.
