Transformation of the Soul

When people are afflicted with disease, they sometimes require a blood transfusion or a bone marrow transplant. In both instances the unhealthy blood or marrow is replaced with healthy blood or marrow. There may be times in our lives when our souls need a transfusion to purge out the elements of pride (vanity and self-righteousness), anger, weakness, and indeed anything that makes us hold fast to our own will.  Any thought, emotion or action that is not from God, is like a cancer in our soul. Like Cancer, these passions can rapidly take over preventing us from seeing the will of God for our lives.

If we allow God to give us that transfusion, He will fill us with an abundance of grace and replace the vices with virtues: vanity with humility, weakness with strength, animosity with love, and agitation with peace. With our hearts, minds, eyes, and ears fully opened, we will come to know His will for us and embrace it as our own.
