Medjugorje: Our Lady gives you this advice on spiritual life

November 30, 1984
When you have distractions and difficulties in the spiritual life, know that each of you in life must have a spiritual thorn whose suffering will accompany him to God.
Some passages from the Bible that can help us understand this message.
Sirach 14,1-10
Blessed is the man who has not sinned with words and is not tormented by the remorse of sins. Blessed is he who has nothing to reproach himself and who has not lost his hope. Wealth does not suit a narrow man, what good is the use of a stingy man? Those who accumulate by deprivation accumulate for others, with their goods the strangers will celebrate. Who is bad with himself with whom will he show himself good? He cannot enjoy his wealth. Nobody is worse than someone who torments himself; this is the reward for his malice. If it does good, it does so by distraction; but in the end he will show his malice. The man with the envious eye is evil; he turns his gaze elsewhere and despises the life of others. The eye of the miser is not satisfied with a part, the insane greed dries up his soul. An evil eye is also envious of bread and is missing from its table.
