I feel that this is a continuation for yesterday, yesterday we talked about letting God in. Today I hear Cardinal Sarah say that once we let God in, we then must collaborate with him.Last week we talked about monologue and the one-way conversations we tend to want to have with God and others. I see collaboration as the opposite of monologue. Unless you work completely alone on a desert island, I would venture to guess that you at will have to collaborate with others.When my kids were young, there was not much collaboration going on (no doubt they would agree), where I said what was going to be done and “most” of the time they did it. But now that they are adults the collaboration process had to change.The same could be said about the collaboration we have with God in our hearts. We spend time with him, we listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Collaboration takes understanding the other person, we must understand God, and understand him by getting to know him. I come to God in prayer asking him for help/advise when I am struggling with a particular situation. When I sit with God, we collaborate because we have the same common goal, for me to share in eternal happiness with him. If he was not concerned about me, he would not call me to prayer, to share is love with me.Take away: Do you collaborate with God or do you have your own agenda and execute it without consulting with God in the silence of your heart, during prayer?
