to seek, especially in the beginning, friendship
and association with other persons having this same interest...
This spiritual friendship is so extremely
important for souls not yet fortified in virtue - since they have so many opponents
and friends to incite them to evil -
I don't know how to urge it enough...
It is necessary for those who serve Him
to become shields for one another
that they might advance.'
St. Teresa of Avila
Painting: Winslow Homer
