Episode 70 -- Imitation of Christ III.32 -- On Self-Denial and Giving Up Our Own Desires

We read about the importance of God's will. The only thing permanent in this world is God's will. What we do in accord with His will lasts forever. But to do his will, we need to desire His will. And to desire his will requires grace from God. Let us ask for the grace to want to be faithful. Becoming faithful in all things is the work of our whole lives. Let us not be impatient with God’s timetable and the work of our sanctification.
