Direction you receive should be consistent with your plan of life, of grace you should follow. That which is good for you and not just what is good in itself. Put on the mind of Christ and think with the Church. Therefore, a close study of the encyclicals, documents of the church will give you a better insight as to how to think with the church. Truth Truth reveals darkness and encounters opposition.
Truth is simple and there is no ambiguity in it.
It is yes or no. To reveal your thoughts and desires to your confessor or spiritual director is exposing self to the light of truth. If there is any deception it will vanish. Truth brings with it peace, joy and freedom. To live in the truth is to live in humility.
