Priests, religious, and lay people at times run the risk of relying too much on human consolations, rather than humbly letting themselves be guided by the right person and wearing themselves out on their knees before the Tabernacle. But he always finds the light again. Not so for him who hides his desolation. For him the pain will be deeper, more desperate because outside the confines of fidelity the crisis becomes much more profound. One ought not fear women nor oneself.
Fear only paralyzes.
Neither should one feel completely safe. This would be an illusion, thinking oneself beyond temptations and possible falls. The cross liberates. There is no service to one's brothers and sisters without the cross. Human nature always tends to flee the cross.
