St Alphonsus: On Conformity to the Will of God.

St. Alphonsus de Liguori's sermon for Pentecost Sunday, "On Conformity to the Will of God provides clear and concise direction on what 'Thy Will be Done' actually means for it is only in doing the Will of God that we truly please God, and not in merely stating it with our voice.

Here are two quotes from it that give a taste of the riches found within it...

"A single blessed be God, in adversity, is better than six thousand thanksgivings in prosperity."

"He who, during life, casts himself into the hands of God, shall lead a happy life and shall die a holy death. He who dies resigned to the divine will, dies a saint; but they who shall not have been united to the divine will during life, shall not conform to it at death, and shall not be saved."
