Your Will Be Done, O Lord, Not Mine

O Lord, You know, what is best for me, let it be done according to Your will.  Give me what You will, in whatever measure You will, and at whatever time You will.  Give me what You know to be the best, as pleases You best, and as will best promote Your glory.  Put me where You will, and freely do with me in all things according to Your will. Am I not Your creature, and in Your hands, for You to lead me and turn me about as You will?  I am Your servant, ready to do all things at your command, for I do not want to live for myself, but only for You.  If only I could do this worthily and perfectly.

Thomas a Kempis

Your Destiny...Your Duty

(Image Source - Wikimedia Commons ) This is the Will of God – your sanctification.  To be a child of Mary means to be a saint.  That is your destiny.  That is your duty.  That is the one work of your life and your life's only work…there is only one sorrow: not to be a saint.  God has willed that you be a saint; has made it the whole purpose of your life, and the only meaning of all your living.  Rev. M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.
