What does God want?

There can often be a sense that God wants what we want. This was certainly Peter's challenge. In last weeks Gospel he received plaudits from Jesus for being on the money, this week he receives a rebuke for being way off the mark. This is where we need to quiten the warring voices within us which equate what we desire with what God desires. The challenge for us in every age is to be people who allow our minds and hearts to be in union with God. It calls us to be people who are prayerful, reflective and able to see how we can be present to our world with faith, hope and love. This is not by imposing our own will but through allowing God's will to draw us to following him.
