We want to live spiritually

March 12



 The apostle warns: "If we live by the Spirit, walk by the Spirit", almost as if to tell us for our mutual edification: Do we want to live spiritually, that is, moved and guided by the Holy Spirit? Concerned with the spirit mortify itself, which inflates us, makes us reckless, we dry out, in other words, give ourselves to repress the pride, anger and envy: three evil spirits that are slaves to most men. These three evil spirits are absolutely contrary to the Spirit of the Lord.
(October 23, 1914, to Raffaelina Cerase - Letters. II, p. 197)
