S01E49 6 Steps to Abandonment

Our Lord wants nothing less than every bit of ourselves, every piece.  Are we willing to truly let go?  Do we even know how?  It's not easy, the world and the devil conspire together to fill our heads with the notion that we must have what we think we need.  Something things, some relationships, surely must be "non-negotiable," even compared to our religious life, no?
