33 God in the Center prove to be generous and magnanimous in all his service to God. 29 He will always “walk in God’s presence” and live with the awareness that God is a witness to everything that he does. Although this awareness of God’s closeness and the conviction that He sees everything, will arouse fear in a servant of God, it will be a filial fear; a son will do everything to be always pleasing to God. 30 In his actions he will employ such means which God recognizes as just and proper, and he will lift himself up to God with all of his person. 31 He will seek and see Him in everything; none of his duties or any confusion will interfere with this because his mind and heart will always yearn for God and feast on His delight-giv- ing presence. The words of the Bride from the Song of Songs will come true: “My beloved is mine and I am his” (Song 2, 16), and: “I am my beloved’s and his desire is for me” (Song 7, 10). 32 There is an important statement in Father Matulaitis-Matulewicz’s teaching, namely the one which says that in the atmosphere of such love and warmth towards God everything may be simple and easy for man. He will not find it difficult to be guided by proper and pure intentions in everything, to seek God in everything, and to undertake everything out of love for Him. 33 He will not base his actions on human considerations and the possibility of personal gain but only on the purest love of God. The more ardent this love is, the purer his intention will be and more deserving to be acted upon. God will become the purpose of all his aspi- rations, He will be man’s inspiration and stimulation, He will anticipate everything with His grace, He will be the only reward. 34 The next important conclusion drawn by Blessed George is that the love of God which seizes man has its repercussions in his entire life. Just like any other man, the Renovator of the Marians, who encountered so many difficulties in his personal life, in his work on the renovation of the congregation, in his pastoral activity, who was concerned about the future of his fragile work, saw the need to protect it all from danger. But he did know that without God this would be impossible. After all, one careless word, a sickness or somebody’s dishonesty might destroy everything that man was building with such care and effort.
