Ave Maria!— July’s Theme: Temptation
“Your innumerable temptations, from which you are continually assaulted, must not torment you because the Holy Spirit warns the devout soul, who prepares herself in the ways of God, to dispose herself, to prepare herself for temptation. Therefore, take courage, because the certain and infallible sign of the choice of health of a soul is temptation, to which the poor thing will be subjected as a sign of contradiction amidst so many tempests. Let the thought of the lives of all the saints, who were not exempt from this trial, encourage us to support our trial.”
