What benefits does spiritual dryness actually confer?
In chapter 13 of A Treatise on Peace of Soul, Fr Scupoli discusses the sin of presumption. He shows how dryness in prayer can help us overcome it.
Last episode we saw how spiritual dryness is a sign of spiritual progress. Beginners in the spiritual life do not normally experience it. Those stuck in sin and in love with this world as their ultimate goal do not complain of it. God allows these interior states as precious signs of his love.
