"There is a solemn anticipation, a stillness of the day and night where all humanity if they so choose, await the coming of a Savior. Our human attitude begins its preparation to embrace a Divine attitude, which proposes to bring sanctification and salvation through the birth of the Incarnate Word. For the Divine attitude to take form, we are called to enter a story that introduces us to our origin as created human beings in the image and likeness of God. . . .
"We are intimately part of a Divine narrative whose author, God the Father, never ceases to reveal how deeply loved we are, primarily through His Son, Jesus Christ. Our response to His love is our human act of the will to follow His Divine will and openly accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and King. . . .
"We witness a progressive demonstrative directive from Christ to his
followers to love without condition or stipulation. Jesus provides us
with the perfect model of human obedience as the Son of God who
willfully offers himself in death for the salvation of every human soul. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Marlon De La Torre, Director of Catechesis for the Diocese of Fort Worth, reflected on why we need to follow God's will.
