Let God take us over…

“The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become – because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. . .It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.” CS Lewis

When Michelangelo went to look for blocks of marble in major quarries, he would say; “Look, Moses is already in this block of marble, I need to bring him out!” This is what the Holy Spirit is trying to do to our soul everyday…to chisel out the image of Christ that is buried within, through his gentle inspirations and desires that he puts in our hearts. Daily prayer and a strong Sacramental life help to facilitate this process tremendously!
