Wisdom from St. Alphonsus Liguori (Part 7)

                     "St. Teresa of Avila Interceding for the Souls in Purgatory," by Peter Paul Rubens


The following is from St. Alphonsus Ligouri's "The Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ:"


St. Teresa said, "Those persons are deceived who fancy that union with God consists in ecstasies, raptures, and sensible enjoyments of Him. It consists in nothing else than in submitting our will to the will of God; and this submission is perfect when our will is detached from everything, and so completely united with that of God, that all its movements depend solely on the will of God."

St. Alphonsus Liguori, pray for us.
