| BkVI:3.II.16 | Those who have found the truth, and that includes you, know that they can live serenely, as if walking through a dark forest with a bright torch lighting the way. The torch is the light of Christ, the light of wisdom restored to your holy mind. You need but shine it towards whatever you wish to see clearly, and appearances will be put aside and what was hidden will be sweetly revealed. You no longer need to teach anything, but if others ask, you will give from the sweetness of your heart and the generosity of your soul. When love asks, you will act as a patient parent who has let go of their attachment to learning; even if they need to keep repeating lessons for a child who needs more time to learn, they do it for love and with love. You live serenely because the sovereign of Heaven, the peace of Christ, now reigns forever in your heart, purified by the unction of the Father's love. |
