"To will what God wills, to will it in the way, the time and the circumstances that he wills, and to will all this not for other reasons, but only because God wills it so." St. Joseph Cafasso

This is the surest road to holiness and eternal union with God. Jesus taught us this both by word and by action. He said that the one who does the will of the Father will enter the kingdom of God. In choosing the will of the Father even to death by crucifixion, he lived what he taught, as an example for us. We express this sentiment in the Our Father: thy will be done. God called Adam and Eve to be obedient to his command. They chose, not his will, but theirs. To choose the Father's will in all things does not negate our will, but enables us to unite our imperfect will to the perfect will of the Father for the glory of God and our eternal happiness.
