Principles and Practices - September 4

The Safety of Obedience

It is absolutely true that in matters of con­science obedience to a spiritual director is obedience to God, for Christ has said to His ministers on earth:

'He that heareth you, heareth Me.'

A soul possessed of this spirit of obedience cannot be lost: a soul devoid of this spirit cannot be saved.
