The purpose of our prayer and dedication to discovering and doing the will of God is for us to be united with God in the action and work He is doing in us and through us every day all about us. That is what today’s Gospel is getting at: are we really ready to allow God to drive the creative lives and work we do. That doesn’t mean we abandon our intelligence or capacity to plan an execute activities. Rather it means we put our capacities at God’s disposal and move at God’s prompting more than at our own reasoning and willful determination.
