To walk with caution in the pursuit of eternal salvation.

January 11

Knowledge of the potential indignity, which consists in knowing what would be or what we could do without the assistance of grace, and we have discussed so far, not to be confused with the actual unworthiness. The first makes the creature acceptable and pleasing to the eyes of the Almighty, the second makes it detestable, because it is a reflection of the evil present in the soul, in consciousness.

You, in the darkness in which you find most of the time, confound one another, and knowledge of what you may be, and are afraid that what is only possible for you.

Ignoring whether to God are worthy of love or hate, is suffering and not a punishment, because no one is afraid of being unworthy when you really want it to be or is. Such uncertainty is allowed by God to all human beings, so they do not puffed up and to walk with caution in the pursuit of eternal salvation.
