"The cause and origin of the passions is the misuse of things. Such
misuse results from perversion of our character. Perversion expresses
the bias of the will, and the state of the will is tested by demonic
provocation. The demons thus are permitted by divine providence to
demonstrate to us the specific state of our will."
St. Gregory of Sinai.
"You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you. |
