Episode 95 -- Spiritual Combat c58.1 -- Offering Ourselves to God

How do we make our self-offering acceptable to God? 

In this episode we read about how there are two things necessary to make our self-offering completely acceptable to God.

1. Make it in union with Christ’s offering to the Father.

2. Be free of all attachment to creatures.

• Our Lord offered not only His own life to the Father, but also all of our lives and works. When he became Man he united in a mysterious way all human persons to himself. We are called to recognize what He has done for us and offer ourselves back to the Father through Him.

• Detachment: we want to belong totally to God. Thus, we must love Him above all things and all things in relation to God. We must be willing to give up everything and anything that might hinder our union with God. We must seek to love all things as coming from God.
