To live a good life, the most important aspect is to completely surrender to God, who is all Good and all Love. This surrender guides us to live according to His will and to experience the fullness of His love.

Saint Augustine, a Church Father, beautifully expressed this concept. In his Confessions, he wrote: “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you” (Confessions, Book I, Chapter 1). This means that we are made for God and only in Him do we find true peace and happiness.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that the purpose of human life is to know, love, and serve God. “The ultimate purpose of human life is to know and love God” (CCC 1).

Surrendering to God involves trusting in His plan and allowing His grace to transform us. Saint Paul exhorts us in his letter to the Romans: “Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2).

Therefore, living a good life requires us to surrender completely to the love and goodness of God, trusting in Him and seeking to fulfill His will in everything we do.
