From: THE GIFT OF FAITH by Father Tadeusz Dajczer (page 50 chapter two)
Maturity in faith means the willingness to give up to the Lord everything that He gives us, entrusting ourselves totally to Him.
We should not attach ourselves; not even to spiritual gifts, and not even to Holy Communion. God's will is the only one reality which one may attach oneself to, with out claiming it for oneself. Everything besides God's will is a gift and a means to reach the aim, but it is not the aim. If we claim the gift for ourselves, God will either destroy it or-through giving us the experience of suffering-show us that we have nothing to offer, that we are helpless and that it is God who gives us everything.
THY WILL BE DONE!!! +JMJ+
