For the past several days this thought keeps running in my mind.
It is especially when I am participating in the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that I become aware of God using the Priest, the Commentator, the Lectors, and the faithful who are present, for the REANACTMENT of the LORD’S EUCHARISTIC SACRIFICE.
The following are the reflections which have led me to make the said statement:
1. God is the Almighty Creator of the whole universe.
2. Everything in this world depends on God’s creative power for its existence.
3. God, in His infinite Wisdom, has a plan for the whole universe.
4. God, wants everything in this world to contribute towards the fulfillment of His plan.
5. Hence, God is active here and now, to enable every creature to do its part according to His plan.
Having the above reflections, I realize that I am, indeed, an instrument of
God for the fulfillment of His plan.
Since what I am doing right now is what God wants me to do, I should do it in the best way I can and with all the love that I can give.
Everyday, therefore, as I wake up in the morning I pray to God: “Here I am Oh God, I come to do Your Will. Do fill my mind with Your Thoughts, my heart with Your Desires and my whole body with Your Strength, so that I may be able to accomplish whatever You want me to do today.”
The above prayer makes me focus on what God wants me to do. Sometimes I am confronted with some difficulties or problems. However, I remind myself of what spiritual writers say: ”God does not expect you to be successful, but He wants you to be faithful.” Hence, regardless of whatever difficulties there may be, I just do what I can possibly do and let God do the rest.
