Category: Sincerity
One of the greatest obstacles to growth in the spiritual life is our tendency to hide the truth
It judges our conduct and calls us to conversion. It disturbs our complacency, exposes our excuses
Sincerity keeps the heart open to grace. It allows us to acknowledge reality without excuses
Pride or shame can close our lips precisely when we most need to open them.
If with the help of grace we reject the ‘tongue-tied’ devil, we will find that one of the immediate fruits of sincerity is joy and peace in our souls.
How pleasant it is when a friend comes to us in the midst of some difficulty and says: You can count on me!
