Wisdom from Ralph Martin

One of the signs that John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila give that we’re growing in holiness is that we’re becoming less and less afraid. We’re becoming more and more free. We're becoming less afraid of suffering, less afraid of death, less afraid of failure, and less afraid of what other people think. We are becoming more confident and joyful in the Father’s Love. We are more able to love, worship, and serve.

—RALPH MARTIN from Transformation in Christ
