How to Change

 

How to Change

 

"However great our efforts, we cannot change ourselves. Only God can get to the bottom of our defects, and our limitations in the field of love; only he has sufficient mastery over our hearts for that. If we realize that we will save ourselves a great deal of discouragement and fruitless struggle.

We do not have to become saints by our own power; we have to learn how to let God make us into saints. That does not mean, of course, that we don’t have to make any effort . . . We should fight, not to attain holiness as a result of our own efforts, but to let God act in us without our putting up any resistance against him; we should fight to open ourselves as fully as possible to his grace, which sanctifies us."  [Fr. Jacques Philippe, p. 14-5, In the School of the Holy Spirit]

 

God calls us to let Him mold us and form us into a saint to give glory to God and find eternal peace and joy with the Lord.  It is hard work but the rewards last forever.  Start today or resume today [if you’ve already started] on your journey to sainthood.
