Help
With Your Rule
"Let Thy Will be Done, Not Mine..."
"True union [with God] can very well be reached, with God's help, if we make the effort to obtain it by keeping our wills fixed on that which is God's will... Oh, how desirable is this union with God's Will! Happy the soul that has reached it! Such a soul will live tranquilly in this life and in the next as well... Oh, how many of us there are who will say we do this, and it will seem to us that we don't want anything else and that we would die for this truth, as I believe I have said! Well, I will tell you... that if what you say is true you will have obtained this favor [union] from the Lord..."
St Teresa of Avila in "The Interior Castle" in "The Collected Works of St Teresa of Avila Vol II" , Washington, DC, ICS Publications, 1980, p349
