True Holiness; myth of independence

“How little people know who think that holiness is dull. When one meets the real thing… it is irresistible. If even 10% of the world’s population had it, would not the whole world be converted and happy before a year’s end?”
C.S. Lewis, Letters to an American Lady, Eerdman’s, 1967, pg 19.


“It is good for us to be cured of the illusion of ‘independence.’ For of course independence, the state of being indebted to no one, is eternally impossible…. Of course you ought to be dependent on your daughter and son-in-law. Support of parents is a most… acknowledged duty.”
C.S. Lewis, Letters to an American Lady, Eerdman’s, 1967, pg 20-21.
