A Sense Of Direction

In the interests of developing a sense of direction it might be worthwhile gaining an understanding of matters of the spiritual life.

Be directed by the spirit, not self-indulgence. Alas for those who make the burdens of others unendurable and do not lift a finger to help.

The spirit, not self indulgence, is a way of life. The spiritual life is a complex matter involving individual capacities, the diversity of ways and differing spiritual depths. It should not be grounded on consolations.

Pray for determination and forget about weaknesses. Work on the virtues to prevent weaknesses increasing when thoughts turn to what will or will not happen. There should be no selfish intentions.
