    This weekly reading from the Cardiff Sufi Group focuses on taking responsibility for self. The reading contains two short texts. The first text suggests that inner thorns, or faults, are harder to identify than outer ones, and questions what would happen if people saw their inner thorns. The second text warns against knowingly doing wrong and relying only on future repentance, saying true repentance is an internal flash and outpouring of tears, like lightning and rain, which are needed to calm divine wrath and allow growth. The reading provides a four step approach to reflect on the texts individually and collectively.
