External mortification also important


Woe betide the person who seeks his own satisfactions! Woe betide the person who flees from crosses, for he'll find such heavy ones that they'll overwhelm him! The man who makes little account of external mortifications, saying that interior ones are much more perfect makes it rather clear that he isn't mortified at all, either interiorly or exteriorly. (SV XI, 59)
