Cleansing grace

A Reflection on Ch.9-Ch.24 Sinhyang Park

I would like to share two things that I have gained through this week of meditation on the book, Introduction to the Devout Life.

First, I have felt cleansing my mind and heart, and a clear determined path toward God, to which I believe all human beings are called by His Grace. It is so powerful way of cleansing human hearts. There were many powerful images helping understand human hearts and the destination through Christian belief. (p.Ch.15-Ch.18, p.65-p.71)

Second, I came to have uneasiness when I read and meditated on "3. Holy Mary, my dear Mother, I choose you for my guide. ??(p.71) It may be the influence of my heritage of faith in Korean Protestantism. I have been taught that to worship any other human except Jesus is the kind of act to worship idol and hence forbidden. I do not know how I integrate this Francis de Sale's way of accepting Mary to my faith.

Thank you for your presence through the classes.
