littleflower+JMJ Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 will you answer? wow, everytime i read that saying...... i get goosebumps.
Dudette Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 YES!!!! I get kind of excited when I see things like this. *jumps around* of course, of course, of course, of course, of course!!!
heyyoimjohnny Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 That's something that scares me. I'm afraid I don't usually have the humility to answer.
Chorusgirl Posted February 22, 2005 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!! Love in Christ, Marjorie
Catholictothecore Posted February 22, 2005 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.
Dudette Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Maybe it's me, but I don't think surrendering to God isn't that hard.
Totus Tuus Posted February 24, 2005 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

FutureSoror Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 [quote name='Totus Tuus' date='Feb 24 2005, 06:59 PM'] He appears as the Infant at Nazareth longing to be held, the suffering Son on the Cross longing to be carressed.

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Me too! Reminds me of things I read out of St. Faustina's Diary! That was an amazing book!
Totus Tuus Posted February 25, 2005 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.
FutureSoror Posted February 25, 2005 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.
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 We should make a list of cool books to read! We have someone here to suggest lots of neat ones already!
FutureSoror Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Hmm... we could title it 'The Best Recommended Reading List Ever.' Or something like that
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 He he... someone already started a list in here... I forget what it was titled...
FutureSoror Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Ah! I see, well I guess that's what I get for looking at the older threads first.
