odgoj u duhu vjere 5

[sladjanaf]

padre Escriva:

Who are you to pass judgment on the decision of a superior? Don't you see that he is better fitted to judge than you? He has more experience; he has more capable, impartial and trustworthy advisers; and, above all, he has more grace, a special grace, the grace of state — God's light and his powerful aid.

It shows a bad disposition if you listen to God's word with a critical spirit.

That critical spirit — I admit that there are no unworthy motives behind it — should not be exercised upon your apostolate, nor upon your brothers. I will speak plainly: that critical spirit is a great hindrance to the supernatural undertaking in which you are all engaged, for while you examine the work of the others — with the highest possible motives, I admit — without there being any reason why you should do so, you are not doing anything constructive, and furthermore by being negative you are holding up the progress of all.

'Then', you ask uneasily, 'that critical spirit which is the keynote my character...?'

Listen, I'll set your mind at ease. Take a pen and a sheet of paper. Write down simply and frankly — ah! and briefly — what is worrying you, hand the note to the person in charge, and think no more about it. He has the grace of state. He will file the note or he will throw it into the waste-paper basket. And, since the motives behind your criticism are not unworthy, since they are of the highest, it is all the same to you.

War! 'War', you tell me, 'has a supernatural end that the world is unaware of: war has been for us...'

War is the greatest obstacle to the easy way. But in the end we will have to love it, as the religious should love his disciplines.

Love for our Lady is proof of good spirit, in organizations and in individuals.

Distrust the undertaking that lacks this characteristic.

Win over the guardian Angel of that person whom you wish to draw to your apostolate. He is always a great 'accomplice'.
