Uniformity With God's Will

Uniformity With God’s Will
Saint Alphonsus de Liguor

“Perfection is founded entirely on the love of God: ‘Charity is the bond of perfection;’
and perfect love of God means the complete union of our will with God’s.”

St. Alphonsus

Excellence of this Virtue
Perfection is founded entirely on the love of God: “Charity is the bond
of perfection [2] ;” and perfect love of God means the complete union
of our will with God’s: “The principal effect of love is so to unite
the wills of those who love each other as to make them will the same
things [3] .” It follows then, that the more one unites his will with
the divine will, the greater will be his love of God. Mortification,
meditation, receiving Holy Communion, acts of fraternal charity are all
certainly pleasing to God—but only when they are in accordance with his
will. When they do not accord with God’s will, he not only finds no
pleasure in them, but he even rejects them utterly and punishes them.
