The post discusses Father Ciszek’s experience as a missionary in the Soviet Union, his struggle with willfulness, and the importance of surrendering to God’s will. Father Ciszek’s imprisonment and interrogation revealed his reliance on self, ultimately leading to his surrender and finding peace in submitting to God’s will. The lesson emphasizes the need to abandon one’s willfulness through prayer, acknowledging God’s sovereignty, seeking His forgiveness, expressing gratitude, and surrendering personal desires to align with His will.
