Spiritism

Spiritism is called to enlighten the world, but it needs a certain time to progress. It has existed since the Creation, but it was known only by a few persons, because, in general, the masses occupy themselves little with meditating upon spiritist questions. Today, with the aid of this pure doctrine, there will be a new light. God, who does not wish to leave the creature in ignorance, permits the most elevated Spirits to come to our aid, in order to counterbalance the action of the Spirit of darkness, which tends to envelop the world. Human pride obscures reason and makes it commit many faults on the Earth. Simple and docile Spirits are needed, to communicate the light and to mitigate all our ills. Courage! Persevere in this work, which is pleasing to God, because it is useful for His greater glory, and from it will result great goods for the salvation of souls. Francis de Sales. n [1]
