Lord,I shall be yours, whatever the cost, despite all repugnance. #SaintTeresaMargaret . . ... the Prioress suggested that, for one intending to enter Carmel, she could think of no better practice than “to accustom herself to mortify her own will in all things, however trifling, and to yield willingly her own rights in order to convenience others, pleasantly agreeing with their opinions, treating all with a genuine kindness, thus making a continual and entire sacrifice of the self to God.” . . “Obedience,” said St. Gregory the Great, “is rightly placed before all other sacrifices, for in offering a victim as sacrifice, one offers a life that is not one’s own; but when one obeys one is immolating one’s own will.”... One may leave home, family, friends, renounce social position and material possessions, detach oneself from every created thing, but unless he dispossesses himself of his own will, the sacrifice is worthless … [and Teresa Margaret] developed what one biographer described as “the art of never doing her own will.” ... She had a strong character and a warm, ardent nature, and she seemed to sense that the conflict between her own rebellious temperament and her desire for sanctity would be resolved by the perfection of her submission. Wasn’t this after-all, the Way of the His Cross. #livinglent #meditationswithsaints #saintgregorythegreat #growinholiness #madeformore #lent #catholic #mass #dailycommunion #catholicphotography #nofilter #bissisterhood #saintwisdom #coffeewithsaints #wakingeve https://www.instagram.com/wakingeve/p/Bv9VGrKH6iC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14tysvjkh4ek9
