Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Truths of Salvation, Vol. 42 There are few who reap permanent fruit from a retreat. The cause is twofold. First, during this time they do not enter seriously into a thorough consideration of the eternal truths. These truths being only superficially reflected on, exert, consequently, but little influence upon their lives. Secondly, they do not fully examine the state of their souls, and therefore not knowing their defects leave them uncorrected. Self-knowledge is the first step to amendment of life. Father Lallemant, in "The Spiritual Doctrine," says: "The heart recoils from nothing so much as this search and scrutiny which make it see and feel its own miseries. All the powers of our soul are disordered beyond measure, and this we do not wish to know, because the knowledge is humiliating to us. Our soul does not enter into itself except with pain, seeing nothing but sins, miseries, and confusion. So that, to avoid this distressing and humiliating sight, it hurries instantly out again, and goes to seek its consolation in creatures, unless we keep it carefully to its duty." In the "Lives of the Saints," the Rev. Dr. Alban Butler remarks: "A true penitent must apply himself to the difficult work of self-examination in order to discover every latent inordinate affection or passion.
