THE WAY OF PURIFICATION - Frailty of Human Nature THE WAY OF PURIFICATION PART I. CONVERSION CHAPTER 9 Frailty of Human Nature CHRIST, My , all human beings are weak. Do not think that you are stronger than others. Circumstances do not create the weakness of the man. They simply draw it out and show what he really is. You must be convinced of this fact. Your will is weak, and your blind human desires are strong. 2. it should not be too hard for you to admit your frailty. See how often you are troubled by small matter! At times you resolve to become a better man. Then along comes a small temptation, and away goes your resolution. Just when you think you are safe, when you least expect it, you find yourself pushed over by a slight temptation. Even when you do not give full consent to it, your feelings and desires confuse you. Hateful imaginations rush in on you and refuse to leave. 3. Before you can become serious about self-perfection. You must be convinced of its necessity. See how weak you are! You often tend toward what is wrong. You confess your sins today, and tomorrow you commit the same faults again. You resolve to be on your guard, and an hour later you act as though you had never made the resolution. You are so weak and unsteady. It is only right, then, that you should humble yourself. 5. You are more inclined to go backward than forward. You do not remain in the same state of mind for any length of time. Your moods and attitudes change with the changing hours of the day. If you would only turn to Me! I can help you rise above these changing moods. Let your heart turn to Me and find its rest in Me.
