Summary

Series on Conversion by Fr Haggerty (Part 6 of 8)

The first big “yes”—when we originally orient our lives to Christ—is not the most important. It’s the later yesses, of a deeper surrender and trust and giving of our lives, that mean a lot more. At some point, it’s not enough to be doing the right things; there must still be a desire for even deeper intimacy with God.

Over time, it’s easy to slowly start compromising on little things; to lose the initial enthusiasm and excitement and energy of conversion. This is when sacrifice comes in—when maybe there’s not as much consolation, and no novelty, and it’s all about choosing to sacrifice for the relationship. It’s about a love that perseveres.

If you’re looking for this deeper intimacy, there’s a revealing question to ask yourself. Where am I still hiding?
