The Fourth Week of Lent: Obedience - Divine Intimacy Meditations

Welcome to the "Divine Intimacy Series" continuing Father Gabriel's Meditations on the Interior Life. This week, entering the Fourth Week of Lent, our theme is Obedience, reflecting on Meditations 119-125.We'll explore obedience as a path to union with God, surrendering our will to the divine will manifested through lawful superiors. We will contemplate Christ's perfect obedience and our call to follow His example through voluntary dependence. We'll also consider obedience as a free offering of our liberty and the importance of a supernatural perspective, seeing God in our superiors. The call to blind obedience and the role of humility in overcoming difficulties will also be addressed.While the concept of obedience is often associated with religious vows, the wisdom we will explore in these reflections holds deep significance for every devout Catholic and Secular Carmelite. Because at its heart, obedience is about aligning our will with God's will, a principle that guides us all in our pursuit of a deeper spiritual life, regardless of the specific commitments we have made. Join us as we ponder into the meaning of obedience for all who seek divine intimacy.May God bless us and keep us close to His Heart.---Meditations on the Interior Life for Every Day of the Liturgical Year by Fr.
