Father John Catoir Spiritualife What does God want? n this column I am going to try to reduce the New Tes- tament to a few hundred words. Are you with me? IHere goes. God wants your love. He desires you, and he wants you to be with him in heaven. Jesus died on the cross for you. Those who understand this have the faith, the others who do not are in the cold. We can only pray for them. Believers like you already have the risen Lord living within your baptized soul, which means God is closer to you than your own heartbeat. He loves you, and he wants your happiness. When you come to this understanding, you will be ready to follow his instructions. One of the first things he asks is that you Father Ron abide in him. Abiding in him is not found Rolheiser exclusively in contemplative prayer. No, to abide with him also means living your daily life in him and with him. By living in the present moment you will find God at your side, along with his love On and weeping and joy. Don’t cloud your mind with need- whining less guilt or fear. You are loved.
