God's Will Vs. Our Self-Will
Strengthened to Do God's Will
I am surprised that you still have not completely renounced your self-will, but I
rejoice exceedingly that this change will be accomplished during the retreat (Diary, 369).
[Then] I heard these words: I am with you. During this retreat, I will strengthen
you in peace and in courage so that your strength will not fail in carrying out My
designs. Therefore, you will cancel out your will absolutely in this retreat and,
instead, My complete will shall be accomplished in you. Know that it will cost you
much, so write these words on a clean sheet of paper: "From today on, my own will
does not exist," and then cross out the page. And on the other side write these words:
"From today on, I do the will of God everywhere, always, and in everything" (Diary, 372).
Listen to this entry:
My Prayer Response:
Lord Jesus, may Your love strengthen me to do Your will everywhere, always, and in everything.
May I live the "Our Father" petition: "Thy will be done!"

"O my God, teach me to be generous, to serve you as you deserve to be served, to give without
counting the cost, to fight without fear of being wounded, to work without seeking rest,
and to spend myself without expecting any reward, but the knowledge that I am doing your holy will. Amen."
— St. Ignatius of Loyola
