And again, never call her simply by her name, but with terms of endearment, with honor, with much love.

My father didn't give me a copy of that homily ... he did, however, unfailingly model that advice.

What caught my eye were these words of total submission.

**Grant that I may always desire and will that which is most acceptable and pleasing to You. Let Your will be mine. Let my will always follow Yours and agree perfectly with it. Let my will be one with Yours in willing and in not willing, and let me be unable to will or not will anything but what You will or do not will. Grant that I may die to all things in this world, and for Your sake love to be despised and unknown in this life. Give me above all desires the desire to rest in You, and in You let my heart have peace. **
