SIMPLY DO GOD’S WILL
“Holiness consists simply in doing God’s will and being exactly what God wants us to be.” (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)
St. Thérèse’s God-given simplicity shows us that every person can walk this path of holiness. For us, this means seeking to know God’s will. Jesus made it clear that we show our love for Him by following His commands and living in God’s grace. If we live this way, we will understand the Lord’s instructions more and more clearly, and, endowed with the Spirit of Counsel, we will learn to discern God’s will ever more fully in whatever situation we find ourselves.
