“For those who have become lazy in fulfilling the commandments and desire to banish murky obscurity, there is no better or more efficient cure than complete obedience in everything, with faith and without argument.”

                            -St. Gregory of Sinai

For Reflection:

How does obedience “banish murky obscurity?” To what extent do I obey the commandments of God and the teachings of the Church with faith and without argument? (Is there an area where I disagree with the Church and obstinately stand in rebellion, driven by my own understanding and arguments?) Am I willing to be “cured”?

In this way you will enrich your understanding and you will more and more arouse the desire to climb the mystical ladder which leads to the Supreme Good.
