因為靈魂自動心甘情願的打開，任由天主聖神在其間啟示、修剪、教導、愛憐。正因為靈魂在安靜中，一無保留，將自已透明呈現。因此，在溫柔順服中，靈魂轉化，人格也易發精美。誠如詩文所言：
主，掌管我的心，便及時在我內低語。
主賜下溫和提醒，巧妙編織在靈魂裡。
像馬鞍駕御著馬，微妙牽引。
Concentrating oneself in front of the Lord is like heaven on earth, but it could also be the fire of refinement. The soul willingly opens itself and allows the Holy Spirit to enlighten, to prune, to teach, and to love. Since the soul, in stillness with the Lord, opens itself without reservation and presents itself with transparency, it is transformed in obedience and its character becomes finer. Just like one of Melinda’s poems states:
Subtly weaved into my soul,
the Lord bestowed this gentle prompt
reigning as a saddle on a horse,
serving as a reminder
