ABANDONMENT
Father Ron Longero

Father John Tauler (d.1386) wrote, “But if a man will not trust God nor abandon himself to him, if he insists on striving and straining and worrying, God often permits him to fall into deep misery and want.  This is to show him how far he can go under self-guidance.  But if a man sincerely turns all care over to God, then does God better manage his affairs than could all creatures together.”

For those of you who have been following sermons over the last several months have heard me at different times talk about trusting and abandoning ourselves to God.  This quote from Fr. Tauler is so excellent because he lays out for us a truth, that God will allow us to our own devices in our relationship with him.  God wants us to know that we can’t possibly get far by our own resources.  Principally, our relationship with God is by grace, by God’s initiative.
