“Taste & see the goodness“Taste & see the goodness“Taste & see the goodness“Taste & see the goodness of the Lord.” of the Lord.” of the Lord.” of the Lord.”

There are some matters in which it is clear what God’s will is, such as the commandments or the duties of one’s vocation.

To live according to God’s will is to love. The just are not truly just unless they have holy love, which forms a pure heart.

True love always strives to please those in whom it has found pleasure. God’s word becomes most pleasing when ordained by love. By often taking delight in what God commands, we become what God desires us

to be, and our will is transformed into that of the divine will. The greater the pleasure we take in God’s will for us, the more perfect is our transformation in holy love, the true source of divine wisdom.

Happy the soul who no longer journeys with its own feet but according to the desire of its God!

To inspire in us a holy, salutary love of God’s commandments, we must contemplate their wondrous beauty. Like the visible sun that touches all things with its life-giving warmth, and gives them the vigor needed to produce their proper effects, so God’s goodness enlivens all hearts to love God’s word. To love the divine commandments, God gives us means that are not merely sufficient. Rather, God gives us a rich

abundance of ways to fulfill this divine desire implanted in our hearts.

The commandments are worthy of love because they give goodness to those who lack it and increase goodness in those who have it.

There is no toil in what we love, or if there is any, it is a beloved toil. Thus, while the divine law imposes a

necessity to obey God’s will it also converts this necessity into holy love, and all difficulty into delight.

Please pray for the souls of
