We all need to surrender and trust God. We learn to trust God beyond our psychological experiences. We become more courageous in facing, and letting go of the dark corners of ourselves and begin to participate, actively in dismantling all our pre-rational emotional crutches. We cannot escape from the world that is inside us, but we can acknowledge and confront it. The invitation to allow God to change our motivation from selfishness to divine love IS the transforming union.
Lord, I was born a sinner, from the moment my mother conceived me. But you desire honesty from my heart, so you can teach me to be wise in my being. Purify me for my sins, and I will be clean; wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Amen
