Thy Will Be Done

“If we make a quietness within ourselves,Mary ImmaculateConception

if we silence all desires and opinions and if we love, without formulating any words, we bind our whole soul to think “Thy will be done,” the thing which after that we feel sure we should do…is the will of God.”

                                                                -Simone Weil

 

For Reflection:                       

In what one area am I presently seeking God’s will? According to the quote, what steps should I take to discover it? Am I willing to do so?

"In what silence, what adoring recollection, must you have withdrawn into the depths of your soul to embrace the God whose Mother you were!  Your attitude , O Blessed Virgin, durig the months preceding the Nativity of Jesus, seems to be the model for interior souls, for those whom God has chosen to live within, deep in the unfathomable abyss.  What peace and recollection accompanied your every action!  You made ordinary things divine, because through them all, you remained the adorer of the Gift of God"  (cf. E.T. L-I, 10).
