“There is no more urgent need than total surrender to God, putting oneself totally in his hands. In his infinite, and therefore in his incomprehensible love… He wishes to fill us with himself, if only we wish to be filled by him and do not close our hearts to him by filling them with things that are not him. If we know how to empty our hearts from all this and to detach ourselves from all that is not God, then we shall remain astonished about his work within us. If man were deeply penetrated by this truth, he would be totally absorbed in God.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
