February 18 – The Highest Honor: To Fulfill God’s Will

“Love for God is most clearly shown in fulfilling His most holy will. Fulfilling God’s will is something supreme; it is the highest honor of angels and saints. We fulfill God’s will by nurturing within ourselves a fervent love for Him, by accepting what happens according to His providence. Finally, by observing the commandments of God and of the Church, regulations, the directives of our superiors, and interior inspirations.”
- Father Wenanty Katarzyniec
Love for God is not measured by emotions or words. Its true measure is obedience. Father Wenanty reminds us that the greatest dignity of a human being - greater even than earthly success or recognition - is to fulfill the will of God. In this, angels and saints find their highest honor: not in the greatness of their deeds, but in the harmony of their hearts with God’s will.
God’s will does not always mean what is easy. Sometimes it means accepting what is difficult. Sometimes it calls us to embrace situations we did not choose. Sometimes it means remaining faithful where we would rather escape. Yet it is precisely in this surrender that true love is born.
To fulfill God’s will means:
- to nurture a fervent love for Him within our hearts,
- to trustfully accept what He allows,
- to faithfully observe His commandments,
- to listen to the voice of conscience and interior inspirations,
- to practice obedience in the place where we have been called to serve.
This is not a spectacular path. It is a quiet one. But it leads most surely to holiness. For when the heart says “yes” to God - even in small matters - it becomes conformed to the Heart of Christ.
Reflection for today:
- Does my love for God express itself in obedience to His will?
- How do I respond to situations I did not choose - with resistance or with trust?
- In what concrete area of my life is God inviting me today to greater faithfulness?
