IN RELATION TO GOD
Lack of a Faith Perspective
Spiritual immaturity is manifest in undue reliance on their own ability, lack of openness to the guidance of the Spirit, fear of silence and solitude, letting emotions dictate their perceptions rather than understanding of life and its events from the perspective of faith.
Inability to Transcend
Spiritually immature persons are unable to surrender themselves to a power greater than themselves. They exhibit excessive attachment to things and persons,
are incapable of personal asceticism, and tend to follow their primary drives and instincts without the inhibiting action of reason or social sensibility.
