I feel
sorry for your clients unless their [sic] all cloistered monks
and nuns, they only would be able to meet your ridged [sic] demands
and I doubt they would agree with you. I will pray for your clients. No true
saint charged for their [sic] spiritual
advise [sic].
 he more you try to insult me, the
more you reveal the depths of the very anger that blocks you from living
a devout Christian life, and the more you prove the whole point of this
website.
But since
anger usually derives from
fear, you do offer a clue. For you to say that only
cloistered monks and nuns could meet “my” demands shows just how
much you must be afraid. That is, by convicing yourself that something is
impossible, you free yourself from any effort to achieve it. And that’s
precisely where many would-be Christians go wrong. Christ Himself warned
us that many are called and only a few are chosen. In the story of The
Rich Young Man (Matthew 19:16-30) He makes it clear what He demands of
us: everything. This isn’t just a “rigid demand” that only
monks and nuns can meet; it’s a demand for all of us.

 One day, on account of some
fault which I had committed, my Divine Master gave me the following lesson.
“Learn,” He said, “that I am a Holy Master and One that teaches
holiness; I am pure and cannot endure the slightest stain. Therefore, thou
must act with simplicity of heart and with an upright and pure intention
in my presence. Know that I cannot endure the least want of straightforwardness,
and I shall make thee understand that, if the excess of My love has led Me
to constitute Myself thy Master, in order to teach and fashion thee after
My manner and according to My designs, nevertheless I cannot bear tepid and
cowardly souls, and, if I am gentle in bearing with thy weakness, I shall
not be less severe and exact in correcting and punishing thy
infidelities.” |

And in The Parable of the
Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) Christ tells us what will happen to those
who out of fear refuse to serve Him productively: not only are God’s
gifts taken from them, but they lose everything else as well.
Now, speaking about gifts from
God, everything on this website is free of charge, and I
say plainly that you don’t really need to
pay me to learn how to fulfill the demands of Christ, if only you are willing
to pray properly. And for those who do need to
pay me, we have the words of Saint Paul himself: “A worker deserves
his pay” (1 Timothy 5:18).
Thank you for your prayers for
my clients. Maybe someday you will even learn how to pray for those whom
you dislike—as Christ “rigidly” demanded of us.
