Ways that direct us to spiritual perfection?

[Zerg]

How can we grow spiritually? I know that we could pray the rosary, or more importantly surround ourselves with God’s word by reading Sacred Scripture.

I love reading the Bible, yet sometimes I don’t make the time to. In times of stress or “crisis” it would be a good idea to pick up the Bible more often to read it.

We seem to cling to our little venial sins. Surely one must do more to seek spiritual perfection and self-denial?

Any thoughts?

Prayer, fasting, almsgiving

Mental prayer.

I would suggest checking out St. John of the Cross’ Ascent of Mount Carmel, all about attaining union with God. I’ve started it, and it seems very good so far.

“Imitation of Christ” helped me a lot.
