Veronica Williams Bücher

The founder of the Mothers' Prayer movement discusses surrender and the joy it brings. Surrender requires sacrifices, whether of material possessions or spiritual life, which includes prayer, scripture reading, and participation in Mass. A key aspect is the belief in God's love. The expansion of the Mothers' Prayer movement worldwide reflects God's generosity towards those who surrender, bringing joy. At first glance, the movement may seem like a lobbying group trying to influence God for their children's sake. However, mothers genuinely desire to pray for their children, aware that God wants the best for them. Surrendering their children to God is central to their communal prayers and spiritual life. Veronica Williams shares the story of the movement's inception, its spread to various countries, and the love for mothers, including those from Russia. Veronica reflects on the challenges of surrender. Many fear losing control over their lives, yet often discover that what holds them back prevents their happiness. Through her own story, she illustrates how she found happiness through surrender and a close relationship with God. While happiness often depends on circumstances and others, joy stems from our relationship with the Lord and remains with us even in difficult times.

Mnohí z nás boli vedení k tomu, aby prijali za svoje: Pomôž si človeče, aj Pán Boh ti pomôže. Ja som však presvedčená, že Boh nám pomáha ešte viac, ak sa rozhodneme dovoliť mu, aby v nás kraľoval úplne. Táto malá knižka je o odovzdaní sa, ale toto slovo mnohým ľuďom naháňa strach, pretože ako prvá im napadne myšlienka: čoho sa budem musieť vzdať? A hneď potom: Znamená to, že stratím kontrolu nad svojim životom? Napriek tomu som ja osobne našla veľkú radosť v odovzdaní sa Bohu, do Jeho vôle, do vôle nášho Otca a mnohokrát som zakúsila Jeho láskyplné vedenie. Túto knihu som napísala preto, aby som pomohla utíšiť akýkoľvek strach, ktorý by mohol niekto prežívať. Dúfam, že cez moju skúsenosť čitateľ naozaj pochopí, čo je to odovzdanie sa a skrze ňu získa povzbudenie, aby prežil podobnú radosť vo svojom živote.
