Notamos que una trampa para nuestras almas es caer en las obras exteriores como única meta a la que dedicamos todo sin transformarnos a nosotros mismos. De esta manera, el P. Scúpoli señala:
“Porque si a pesar de tantas obras y proyectos siguen deseando siempre que les prefieran a los demás, se muestran llenas de caprichos y rebeldes, obstinadas en su propio parecer sin querer aceptar el parecer de los otros, sin preocuparse por aceptar el parecer de los otros, y sin preocuparse por observar sus propias miserias y debilidades se dedican a observar con ojos muy abiertos las faltas y miserias ajenas (…) lo que tanto criticaba Jesús: “se fijan en la basurita que hay en los ojos de los demás y no en la viga que llevan en sus propios ojos”. Esto es señal de que el grado de su santidad es muy bajo todavía”.
En “El Combate Espiritual”, el padre Lorenzo Scúpoli declara que, además, hay un tipo de pecador muy difícil de convertir, lo cual conviene ver si estamos en ese estado:
“La experiencia de cada día enseña que con más facilidad se convierte un pecador manifiesto, que otro que se oculta y se cubre con el manto de muchas obras externas de virtud. Porque a estas almas las deslumbra y las ciega de tal manera su orgullo que es necesaria una gracia extraordinaria del cielo para convertirlas y sacarlas de su engaño. (…) No consiste la perfección, pues en dedicarse a muchas obras exteriores. Pues como dice S. Pablo: ‘Aunque yo haga las obras más maravillosas del mundo, si no tengo amor a Dios y al prójimo, nada soy’”.
¿Qué opinas de las trampas descritas, caminante? Comenta, guarda y comparte este post con alguien que aprecies. Te lo agradecemos. ¡Sigamos!

Movie Review: Venezuela's bid for an Oscar -- "The Box (La Caja)"
Movie Review: Venezuela’s bid for an Oscar — “The Box (La Caja)”
The new film from award-winning Venezuelan filmmaker Lorenzo Vigas is a lean, quiet and disturbing parable about global capitalism as it is practiced in much of the Third World.
With “The Box” (“La Caja”), the director of “From Afar” pulls us into the sad, mysterious plight of a boy dispatched to the world of giant sweatshops and ruthlessly exploited workers of northern Mexico. And through this…

almost forgot my annual list of movies from 2022 that you didn’t watch but absolutely should!
God’s Creatures (undeserved muted reception, finish your Paul Mescal double feature)
You Won’t Be Alone (was I late to the party or are you)
Private Desert (come to Brazil!)
The Stranger (true crime is good when it suffocates you) (Netflix)
Ahed’s Knee (formally unhinged) (Criterion Channel)
Sundown (standard issue Michel Franco disclaimer) (Hulu)
Reflection (standard issue Valentyn Vasyanovych disclaimer)
The Box (Lorenzo Vigas!) (Mubi)
That Kind of Summer (I swear I’m not a Mubi industry plant) (Mubi)
A Wounded Fawn (sometimes movies that go direct to Shudder...are good) (Shudder)
Hit the Road (Panahi, son of Jafar) (Showtime)
Ali & Ava (British people! what a concept!)
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes (time-travel comedy in an actual single take! what a concept!) (Prime)
