Reflection (Luke 22: 40-44):

"Sacrifice and offerings didn't satisfy you. Then, at that moment, I proclaimed, see I here to fulfil the will, my Heavenly Father!" Who is beyond time and space. He had just one craving, specifically to satisfy His Father and to satisfy His pronouncements and subsequently to celebrate Him. Jesus' accommodation to the desire of His Father summarized by as long as He can remember. While Luke makes reference to the faithful of Jesus to His Father. St. Paul keeps in touch with Philippians that He was devoted unto demise, passing on the Cross. It isn't not difficult to bow ones head to the desire of God in each occasion of life. … In the nursery of Gethsemane, Jesus truly felt the 'sting' of compliance to the desire of the Father. For, acquiescence the implied complete self-give up to God's will.

At the point when we ponder the existence of Mother Mary she additionally absolutely give up Herself to the desire of God through Her 'fiat' saying "OK" to the message of God, and she said "I'm the handmaid of the Lord, let it be finished by your will" She likewise became submissive to the desire of God and taken part in the saving mission of God.

She also totally surrender Herself to the will of God through Her ‘fiat’ saying “yes” to the message of God, and she said “I am the handmaid of the Lord, it must be done according to the desire of God and become the member of the mission of God the Father.

The fathers of the Church say that the highest perfection consists in bringing our will in submission to the will of God. This highest perfection could be seen in the life of saints who devoted themselves totally to the will of God. Thus they have become for a great model and significant example to follow. We need to follow them in order to become the part of the Mission of God.

Therefore, let us follow the example of our Lord Jesus, Mother Mary and all the saints in saying ‘Yes’ to everything to God’s will. Let us ask God to bend our hearts to His will, make our rebellious minds submissive to His will and capture our entire being for Himself, so that we may think only His thoughts, do only His will, and ask only His good pleasure in everything. With the compatibility of mind ask Jesus to increase or faith, so that we may see His face reflected in our parents, our superiors and other authorities.

Magnificat:

Intercessions: Let us present before our lord our prayers ad petitions asking him to teach us to do the will of the heavenly father in everything and everywhere:

Ø  Lord Jesus obeying the will of the father you emptied yourself, we ask you to give us grace to humble ourselves and to accept your will in every day of our life.

Ø  Lord Jesus, for you doing the will of the father was indeed food and drink, give us a longing to do the will of the father and to die to our own will.

Ø  Lord Jesus you obeyed the will of the father and died on the cross. For you obedient meant death. Help us to seek your father’s will and fulfil it in every detail.

Ø When things go wrong, when failures beset us, when cross surround us, Lord help us to see your hand at work and say “your will be done’.

Obedience is better than sacrifice. Lord Jesus, teach us to obey sacrificing our likes and dislikes for your love’s sake and help us to convert our lives into a living act of adoration.

Remove from our corrupt nature, the spirit of rebellion, insubordination, fight and destructive criticism and promote in us harmony, submission and love and unity.

 

Our Father:

Let us pray: 

Jesus meek and humble of heart, you humbled yourself and became obedient unto death, a shameful death on the Cross. Let Your mystery of self-emptying teach us how to bend our will to yours. Give us a meek heart reflecting Your meekness and the charm of Your love.

Give us an open heart capable to accept our neighbor as they are and be kind to them. Give us a benevolent heart to be a witness of Your mercy and peace.  Give us a forbearing heart that we may ignore evil and offence and forgive every insult. Give us a broad and generous heart that is bent on giving and never refusing a service. Give us a victim heart that we may continue to offer all the suffering for the salvation of souls Lord Jesus, teach us to die to myself and live for you, die to our will and seek your will, to yield and surrender rather than rule and dominate, to be available rather than seek service from others. 

Let us consider Lord Your will as our food and drink. Let us say “yes” to you are every event of the day and say “Thy will be done.”
