The subject of God's will was for Alphonsus a theme of
predilection, a theme dearest to his heart. Just as St. Ignatius
stressed 'the greater glory of God, ' St. Alphonsus in all his
works, gave prominence to 'the greater good pleasure of God.' The
death of a friend deeply affected the Saint and he expressed his
sentiments in a poem on God's will. The wide acclaim it received
may have suggested to him the thought that a tract on the same
subject would be helpful to the souls of others. His surmise proved
correct, for the appearance of his subsequent pamphlet was greeted
with instant favor. "Perfection is founded entirely on the love of
God: 'Charity is the bond of perfection;' and perfect love of God
means the complete union of our will with God's."--St. Alphonsus.
