And to Lose Myself

Painting: Nikolai Bogdanov Belsky

Be to Him a Field

'Go forward then, full of faith and loving confidence, and deliver yourself into the hands of His providence.  Be to Him a field that He may cultivate as He pleases, without any resistance on your part.  Remain humbly and peacefully clinging to His good pleasure.'

St. Margaret Mary

No Matter What it Costs

We must 

love Him

with all

our might

and strength,

no matter

what it costs.

Sufficient

We must abandon ourselves
to the loving providence
of the Sacred and lovable
Heart of Jesus
and let Him guide 
and rule us as He wishes.
He will be sure to furnish us
with all that is necessary
for our sanctification
if only
we are careful to receive it
according to His designs.
That is sufficient.
