Wisdom from Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen

 
 
 

Jesus invites us to follow this path of obedience with him and in the same way he did. If we ask a mature Christian to speak about his journey to God, it will always be a story of obedience, though the word itself may not be mentioned.

—Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen

from his book, Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us

TOTAL SURRENDER

In the spiritual life, we need a central idea: something so basic and comprehensive that it encompasses everything else. According to Carmelite Father Wilfrid Stinissen, surrender to God, abandonment to the One who loves us completely, is that central reality. The life of Jesus shows us the centrality of abandonment, for it is truly the beginning and the end of his mission on earth.
