God himself will defend and free such a soul. He will certainly fill it with countless gifts and blessings, not forgetting persecutions. In times of sickness or trial the Lord will support and guide the soul. The world and her children fail to recognize the love the Lord has for his children. Such a soul is filled with the goodness of the Lord.
Sin blinds the mirror of the soul.
The light of faith becomes dim and this causes many disturbances. The soul then looks for solutions and the world is always there to offer temporary and tangible remedies. Yet, these solutions are traps that the soul gets entangled in. In the course of time the soul gets fettered with these attachments and becomes weak in many ways. Nonetheless the soul remembers that it is on a pilgrimage.
