“Our Lord Jesus Christ, without whom we can do nothing,
will not give His grace to him who, though he has access to an expert guide,
rejects this precious means of sanctification, thinking that he can look on
after his own everything that touches on his salvation. He who has a director…
will reach his goal more easily and more quickly than if he acted as his own
guide, even if he be very intelligent and have the very best of spiritual
books.”
St. Vincent Ferrer, O.P. – (From Treatise on the
Spiritual Life, 2,1)
