Ave Maria!— July’s Theme: Temptation
“Be well aware: as long as the temptation displeases you there is nothing to fear. But why does it displease you if not that you do not want to feel it? These very inopportune temptations come from the malice of the devil; but the displeasure and the suffering that we feel come from the mercy of God Who, against the will of our enemy, draws from his malice holy tribulation, by means of which He purifies the gold that He wants to put into His treasures.”
