heyyoimjohnny Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 That's something that scares me. I'm afraid I don't usually have the humility to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chorusgirl Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hey!! Wow... That gives me goosebumps too!! Tee hee... It can be sort of scary at first, but surrendering to God is the hard part, it seems that it gets easier after that. Because I find in after praying and telling God I will do His will alone, I feel at peace for Gods will is right. I pray that we might all do Gods will, to answere Gods calling whatever that may be!!

Catholictothecore Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I don't think surrendering to God is hard; [i]continuously[/i] surrendering, [i]that's[/i] the hard part. Saying "Yes, dear God, I will do what ask." is easy [i]once[/i]. Evey second of every day...that's where our nature comes in against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudette Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Maybe it's me, but I don't think surrendering to God isn't that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I was reading a book on the autobiographies of twenty sisters written in '57 today, and one of them said something so profound... she was talking about how God utilizes everything about our feminine psyches when He's calling us; He appears as the Infant at Nazareth longing to be held, the suffering Son on the Cross longing to be carressed. He does this to "call" us, where as if we truly understood the unfathomable nature of His Love, we would find ourselves begging to be taken in! But I digress. That is a wonderful saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Me too! Reminds me of things I read out of St. Faustina's Diary! That was an amazing book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I know, that is such a great book. You guys would love "The Privilege of Being a Woman" by Alice von Hildebrand, from Sepientia Press (Ave Maria University). It's got some excellent references to the parallels between women and the role of religious life in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSoror Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I went to a talk of hers (I think it was on chastity) a couple years ago. I'm sure it's a good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
