Obedience to the will of God

God's will is infinitely powerful and good. It is the center of all things. It is only by the will of God that anything at all happens both in this world and in eternity. God's will is apparent both in His commandments and in the precepts of the Church.

Christ came to earth to do the will of the Father, not His own. No matter how difficult it was, Christ always subjected Himself to the will of the Father. Likewise, the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints conformed to the will of God.

If we want to obtain salvation, happiness and peace we must strive to cooperate with the will of God in our lives. This was the example of Jesus, Mary and all the saints.

In Christ,

Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
