Episode 65 -- Spiritual Combat c40 -- Time for and Indications of Spiritual Progress

How long will it take before I see signs of spiritual progress?

In this episode we will look at some of the main indications or signs that we are making spiritual progress. Fr. Scupoli warns us, however, not to be too concerned with watching ourselves. He gives some encouragement about how long it will take to start making progress.

In the previous episode we looked at the seven daily vexations that can try us, but that can also be amazing moments of spiritual growth. We looked at five virtues: patience, humility, obedience, poverty, and charity. We saw how each virtue has a different kind of “act” or reaction. The virtues grow by acting as we should in that moment.
