Do not occupy yourself with it…
Do not think about it…
We are, my brethren, in the first stage of the spiritual life, the stage of purification. At this, we have our ups and downs… We fall, we rise, we fall, we rise…
Beware of the traps of our enemy, the devil, after a fall:
While he is the one who mostly pushes us to the fall (with the complicity of our passions), he comes after the fall and inflates it so much, so that our “legs are cut off”, our fighting spirit and zeal are diminished, and we are left with the destructive feeling of accidy (listlessness), lethargy and frustration…
That is why I wrote:
Be careful after a fall!
Do not occupy yourself with it…
Do not think about it…
On the contrary (so long as we repent for it), let us proceed normally, with nerve, zeal, fervour and joy in our struggle, without bringing it (our fall) to our recollection…
This only thing we should remember from our fall, is that we should not repeat it…
Try this and you will see…
I wish you the best!!!ALL PATERNAL ADVICES (in Blog Fromat)
