If the Lord wills it

“Instead you should say, ‘If the Lord wills it, we shall live to do this or that.’” (JAS 4: 15)

It is normal that we have many plans. At the same time, we should always remember that we are not human doers, but human beings, and the most important thing is our relationship with God, more important than many things we can do. When our actions come from our relationship with Him, we can expect more gentleness and respect in what we do. Unconditionally loved by Him, we will share with others what we receive from Him. It will always qualify all our plans.

“I am the way and the truth and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the Father except through me.” (Gospel Acclamation)
