WILL OF GOD
SACRIFICE
DETERMINATION
01
Let us perform our service patiently as we look
forward to that heavenly discharge paper that will give us
the right to return to our native town, to our Family’s
embrace, to the house of the Father who is in Heaven. (Letters 36)
02
Be satisfied with the task the Lord assigns you here below,
and trust that with Gods help you will be able to discharge
(Letters 248) it in such a way as to merit a great reward in Heaven.
03
Complete conformity with Gods will is the great means to
advance on the way to perfection. But this means
becomes in turn the goal with respect to the means we
must employ to obtain it. (Letters 52)
04
Let us always give in to the Lord, even when it goes
against our self-love. And if we cannot always find in this
the sweetness and the peace that come with sacrifice
accomplished, let faith suffice and let us look up to Heaven and
exclaim: “Paradise, paradise.” (Writings 234)
05
Above every other consideration keep in mind that you
are doing Gods will, and steer your ship wherever the
captain directs you. (Letters 83)
