Reading: Pride, self‑sufficiency, or attempting by natural means to reach a supernatural end, or false ideas of self‑reliance in peril and temptation, have no place in spiritual childhood. Quite the opposite, spiritual childhood flowers in a lively faith in God, in a consideration of his goodness and love and mercy. (MCM, p. 241)
