List of points

There are 5 points in The Forge refer to Spiritual Direction .

Receive the advice you are given in spiritual guidance as though it came from Jesus Christ himself.

If ever you fall, my son, go quickly to Confession and seek spiritual guidance. Show your wound!, so that it gets properly healed and all possibility of infection is removed, even if doing this hurts you as much as having an operation.

To be afraid of anything or anybody, but especially of the person who directs our soul, is unworthy of a son of God.

It’s gross ineptitude for a Director to be content with a soul rendering four when it could be rendering twelve.

You have to obey — and you have to command — always with great love.
