חג סנט פרנסיס דה סאלס

סנט פרנסיס דה סאלס אומר: "תהילה ליישוע."

"לately, you are in the process of training your puppy to stay within her boundaries with an invisible fence. If Annie* gets too close to the border, she is given a warning signal and knows to back away. In spiritual life, you also have an invisible fence. The purpose of this invisible fence is to keep you within the boundaries of righteousness. The spiritual fence is Holy Love. The warnings that you are approaching the limits of Holy Love must come from your own conscience."

"This is why it is so important for consciences to be formed in Holy Love. If this is not done, the boundaries of Holy Love are crossed and the soul commits sin. The conscience must be shaped within the parameters of Holy Love; otherwise, the soul does not receive the necessary warnings that he has gone out of bounds."

"Annie experiences a physical sound or warning to back away from danger. The soul receives a spiritual warning when it is out of bounds with Holy Love, but these days many do not have 'spiritual ears'. Many hearts do not cooperate with Holy Love or their own salvation. Their invisible fence fails them and they go into every kind of danger."

"Just as Annie must be trained, the human heart must also be trained to watch for any transgression against Holy Love. This training requires practice and a desire to succeed. The invisible fence remains in place now for Annie. The invisible fence of Holy Love must be reinstated every morning upon waking."

*Annie is the golden retriever puppy.
