1.
 We can 
pay, or 
promise to 
pay, 
whatever obligations, 
financial or 
otherwise, we 
owe.
2.
 He 
will perceive that his 
spiritual growth is 
lopsided, that for an 
average man like himself, a 
spiritual life which does not
 
include his 
family obligations may not be so 
perfect
 after all.
3.
 Service, 
gladly rendered, 
obligations squarely met, 
troubles well accepted or 
solved with 
God's 
help, the 
knowledge that at 
home or in
 the 
world outside we are 
partners in a 
common effort, the 
well-
understood fact that in 
God's 
sight all 
human beings are 
important, the 
proof that 
love freely given surely brings a 
full return, the 
certainty that
 we are 
no longer isolated and 
alone in 
self-
constructed prisons, the 
surety that we 
need no longer be 
square pegs in 
round holes but can 
fit and 
belong in 
God's 
scheme of 
things -- these are
 the 
permanent and 
legitimate satisfactions of 
right living for which 
no amount of 
pomp and 
circumstance, 
no heap of 
material possessions, could 
possibly be 
substitutes.
