Novena Day Five

 

Today's Thought of

Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey

The Will of God

Union with the Will of his Father was the goal of Jesus’ life from the first moment to the last. This is what he said on coming into the world… “God, here I am. I am coming to obey your will.” (Heb. 10:3,7) “Father…let your will be done, not mine…” (Lk. 22:42)

Anne Marie Javouhey had the mind of Christ in this matter. She dedicated herself wholly to God and to the doing of his Will. Because of this total availability, God led her to become a founder and a missionary. Today, God is just as ready to “do great things” for anyone who is united to him. Devotion to God’s Will is the beginning and the end of holiness. But true devotion must avoid the errors of either fatalism or passivity. All that affects us and that does not originate in our will may and should be looked on as coming from God – as God’s will for us.
