I think that may be too far for me. I see St. Francis as being right, that the only thing we can do towards God is surrender. When we hear the Gospel, our response is to surrender, since we have been rebels; when we ponder the Cross, our response is to surrender, since we have not lived the purity that the Savior's blood gives us; when we receive holy communion, our response is to surrender, since we have failed at receiving Him in other ways; when we face death, out response is to surrender, for that is a gulf we cannot cross even with help -- we must be carried. And how glorious to surrender! To let go, finally, of every trace of sin and its contamination of our minds; to let go of mortality which however joyful is yet a burden; to let go of everything and fall into the Savior's arms. Thank you for putting forth out of your relationship, may you be blessed in that willingness to surrender…. In the Beloved, Not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
