Reverential Fear needed to Survive the Flames of Sodom‏

About this sermon

Ven Mother Mary of Agreda wrote: “Surrounded by the sorrows of death and perdition (Ps. 17:5) and beset by the flames of Sodom and Babylon, in which we live, [God] liberated me from the portals of sorrow, into which I was enticed to enter. My enemies, forming visions of fallacious and deceitful delights for the misleading of my senses and the capture of them by pretended pleasures [they showed her bad things perhaps similar to what we now see on TV and in movies], set their allurements about me, in order that I might blindly turn toward these flames and be consumed by them. But from all these snares, laid for my footsteps (Ps. 56:7), the Most High has delivered me, elevating my spirit and teaching me by the most efficacious admonitions the way of perfection. He invited me to a life spiritualized and angelic, and obliged me to live so cautiously, that in the midst of the furnace, the fire touched me not (Eccli. 51:6)” (Mystical City of God, The Conception, no. 2). This is what I want for each of you! And to do this, we need a spirituality. Reverential Fear is a essential element of that survival spirituality!
