What is it that drives us? What is it that makes us go?
It is really easy to say that Jesus or God is our driving force, but is that true? Does that fact that the fire of God burns deep in my soul really drive me to do what I am doing?
It is easy to say, but hard to follow. It is easy to set out to do, but hard to follow through. Our minds and hearts get in the way. God wants us to love Him in the way that an infant loves his/her mother. Unconditionally and simply. Simply believe that God will provide for you. Simply come to Him with child like wonder and simply open your heart and mind to Him.
Simply read and believe these words of Catherine of Sienna (1347-1380):
“Our sin lies in nothing else but in loving what you hate and hating what you love. I confess, eternal God, that I have constantly loved what you hate and hated what you love. But today I cry out in the presence of your mercy: grant that I may follow your truth with a simple heart; give me the deep well and fire of charity; give me a continual hunger to endure pains and torments for you. Eternal Father, give my eyes a fountain of tears with which to draw your mercy down over all the world, and especially over your bride. Amen.”
