Show 190: Temptation
Temptation is the action of the evil spirit upon our soul, in order to induce us to sin; he excites within us the concupiscence of the eyes, or the pride of life.
God allows us to be tempted out of mercy, for the good of our souls.
We ought to protect ourselves from temptation by assiduous work, by keeping our thoughts fixed upon God, and by continual self-conquest.
When we are tempted we ought to betake ourselves immediately to prayer, or think of our last end, or of the evil consequences of sin.
He who has conquered temptation will receive more graces from God.
