All others are instruments God provides to share this task of sanctification. The beginning and end of spiritual direction is to discover the will of God and fulfill it.
Perfection is the narrow path.
The way is the way of the Cross. It is the truth that Jesus reveals in His person and continues to reveal through his Body the Church, that is the light. It always leads us to abundant and eternal life. Perfection is abiding in Christ, seeking to be united to the Most Holy Trinity in time and eternity. Perfection means making progress.
