I <\/strong>want to tell you a secret. But it’s really not a secret at all because it’s in the wide open. And it is this: the source and wellspring of your happiness is the will of God.\u00a0<\/em>Would you agree that, if God’s Kingdom reigned in your home and your heart, you would be happy, that there would be peace and harmony? The coming of God’s Kingdom, dear reader, is synonymous with the welcoming of His will. <\/em>In truth, we pray for it every day:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven…<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pope Benedict once said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2026every day in the prayer of the Our Father we ask the Lord: \u201cThy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven\u201d<\/span><\/strong> (Matt 6:10)\u2026. we recognize that \u201cheaven\u201d is where the will of God is done, and that \u201cearth\u201d becomes \u201cheaven\u201d\u2014i.e., the place of the presence of love, of goodness, of truth and of divine beauty\u2014only if on earth the will of God is done.<\/strong> \u2014POPE BENEDICT XVI, General Audience, February 1st, 2012, Vatican City<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

King David (long before Jesus said, \u201cMy food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to finish his work” [1]<\/sup><\/a>John 4:34<\/span><\/span>
