After perpetual vows, I stayed in Cracow throughout the month of May, because it was undecided whether I was to go to Rabka or to Vilnius.  Once Mother General [Michael] asked me, "Why are you sittine herre so quietly and not getting ready to go somewhere, Sister?"  I answered, "I want to do God's pure will; wherever you bid me to go, dear Mother, I will know God's pure will for me will be there, without any admixture on my part."  

(251)
 

Reflection:  How challenging it is to try to do the will of God without any admixture on our part!

Is there always some little shred of our own will in anything we try to do in the name of God?

Spend some time reflecting on the things that prohibit you from doing the pure will of God? 

How might you start to allow God's will to supercede your own?  Consider trying to start with small things.  Today, give up your own will in something...even if it is something small.  

Ask God to continue to grow in the grace to do His pure will without any admixture on your part.
