Ave Maria!— April’s Theme: Obedience
“How much peace and authentic joy is experienced by the soul of a religious upon knowing with certainty that he is accomplishing the will of God, that he is, with certainty, an instrument in the hands of the Immaculate. A religious who is convinced of this fact has absolutely no trust in his own intelligence, he doesn’t seek anything of his own will except for God and His holy will; he is not attached to his work, to any particular place or even to any pious practices, but only and exclusively to the Divine Will, to God through the Immaculate.” (cf. SK #329)
