Obstáculos

É bom que tenhamos considerado as insídias destes inimigos da alma: a desordem da sensualidade e a leviandade; o desatino da razão que se opõe ao Senhor; a presunção altaneira, esterilizadora do amor a Deus e às criaturas. Todas estas disposições de ânimo são obstáculos certos e o seu poder perturbador é grande.

Vida interior

Vida interior, em primeiro lugar. Há ainda tão pouca gente que entenda isto! Ao ouvir falar de vida interior, pensa-se logo na obscuridade do templo, quando não no ambiente abafado de algumas sacristias.
