→Why Sincerity is Important?
Sincerity is the key of the divine doors. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/sincerity#p1</ref>
''Q: Sweet Mother, you have written: ‘Sincerity is the key to the divine gates.’ What does that mean?''
A: It is a literary image, my child, an imaged, figurative, literary way of expressing the fact that with sincerity one can attain everything, even the Divine. If one wants to open a door, a key is necessary, isn’t it? Well, for the door separating you from the Divine, sincerity works as a key and opens the door and lets you in, that’s all. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/5-may-1954#p41</ref>
===For Progress===
Whenever there is sincerity, you find that the help, the guidance, the grace are always there to give you the answer and you are not mistaken for long. It is this sincerity in the aspiration for progress, in the will for truth, in the need to be truly pure—pure as it is understood in the spiritual life—it is this sincerity which is the key to all progress. With it you know—and you can.
