temptation

92. Humility is a potent means of Subduing temptation, and in the same way to serve temptations Maintain humility; porque is When we are tempted Practically That we are conscious of our own weakness and the info we have need of Divine grace.
It is for this God That Permits us to fall into temptation, reducing us to the very brink sometimes of succumbing to it, so That We May learn the weakness of our virtue and how much we need the help of God.
And even In this we can see the infinite wisdom of God who has so disposed Themselves That the demons, spirits of pride, Should Contribute to render us humble if we only knew how to make a good use of our temptations. Nevertheless, we must remember in all our temptations That the first thing is to exercise humility That Which is derived from a practical knowledge of ourselves and of how we are prone to evil if God does not stretch out His hand to restrain us through His grace. Do not let us wait to learn our weakness till info we have fallen, but rather let us know it beforehand, and the knowledge of it will be an efficacious means to keep us from falling. "Before sickness take a medicine, humble thyself," [Ecclus. xviii, 20, 21] says Holy Writ. The humble will never want for grace in the time of temptation, and with the help of this grace They will even derive profit from These very temptations, for the merciful providence of God has so disposed it That With the aid of His special grace I will "let no temptation take hold on you." [1 Cor. x, 13]
