He does what He says. There are so many riches to the spiritual life, the life of prayer, I wonder how many trads overlook this and think being a trad is enough.
I have a devotion to the Sacred Heart, this idea of being loved, of a God who is your Creator and your Savior and who knows more about you than you know about yourself. What is it to be loved by your Creator and your Savior? We can't possibly understand, we just have to accept and to be grateful.
I think a lot of this can't be put in words, but the freedom that comes from letting go of your ego, to make yourself putty in the hands of Jesus, is true liberation. Do we want to be loved by God or by men? How often do we strive for some kind of recognition from others, wanting them to be in awe of our intellect, of our wit, of our appearance, when instead we should be conscious of our nothingness, that we only have a shot at heaven because of His death.
Paraphrasing St. Paul, I want nothing on this Earth except more comprehension of what it means for God to be made man and die on the Cross. Because once I truly understand that, if only to the best of my limited ability, I'm set, everything else that is good will flow from that.
