By Fr. John Bartunek, LC, Spiritual Direction - What Is God’s Will?.. The Father’s will—finding it, accepting it, and carrying it out with love—was the rule for Christ’s life, and so it should be the rule for the life of every Christian. And indeed, if we make this our food, as Jesus did, then our heart, soul, mind, and strength will find themselves fully engaged in our task of loving God, because the essence of love is union, becoming one with the beloved.
