Today is the Memorial of the great St. Teresa of Jesus, so the subject of self-surrender to God comes to my mind. Since God is the Lord and Creator of all things and we are merely his creatures, just by common sense we see that our only role is to surrender ourselves to him ~ I just don't see any other logical alternative for us. Many of us do believe in God, turn to him, pray to him, do works for his glory, and receive graces from him, but we still have not given ourselves over to him completely. As long as there is still that last barrier between God and us, it will be an obstacle to achieving full spiritual union with him.
