Always be honest with the one to take care of their spiritual diseases

August 20I urge you, my dear children, to care for your heart with all diligence. Try to keep the peace, controlling your temper. I do not say, listen well, keep the peace, but I say that ye keep: it is important to your desire, and beware that good cause for concern is the inability to control the variety of feelings and your temperament.Learn well what the cloister, lest you deceive you bear. Academy is the necessary correction, in which the soul must learn to be working, brushing and polishing, so that, being well-polished and straightened, can join and engage the will of God. The password clear of perfection is wanting to be corrected, because this is the main fruit of humility, which leads us to recognize that we need the correction.The cloister is a spiritual hospital patients, who want to be cured, and to achieve this, are subjected to bleeding, the knife, the knife, iron, fire and all the drawbacks of the medicines. In the early Church, the religious were called with a name meaning doctor. My children, you also doctors and do not listen to what you might suggest self against, and, sweet, kind and loving, take this decision: either die or heal. And, because no one wants to die spiritually, choose healing. And, to cure you, accept and suffer correction care, doctors and beg you not soul deprived of any means that you can achieve healing. Always be honest with you have to heal your spiritual diseases.
