Gradually,
our efforts in Church yield some spiritual benefits. We gain in self-awareness
and realize the presence of our
weaknesses. If anything, whether we like it or not, little by little, the good
impression we have of ourselves faints, once we acquire some knowledge of
ourselves, some self-awareness. Therefore, although little aware of it, we
become more humble, we repent, we believe, we trust more in God. We expect His
grace, regardless of whether our faith seemingly diminishes and our hope
decreases. Deep down, this work is taking place, and we have reason to believe
that, eventually, some good will come out of it. Not just a part of it, but the
whole soul should live according to the will of God.
