'The failure to secure sensual pleasure breeds dejection, while sensual pleasure itself is linked with all the passions.'

'Here is the difference between a pious and a frivolous man: the first abstains from pleasure, and is overwhelmed with spiritual consolations; the other gives himself up to the pleasures of the senses, and suffers in his innermost heart.'

St. Ignatius of Loyola

[odhiambo]

Do not grieve over the temptations you suffer. When the Lord intends to bestow a particular virtue on us, He often permits us first to be tempted by the opposite vice. Therefore, look upon every temptation as an invitation to grow in a particular virtue and a promise by God that you will be successful, if only you stand fast.
St. Philip Neri

St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle

[Shin]

'Accustom yourself to repeat as your first words upon awakening, and your last words before sleep, the names of Jesus and Mary, so that God will give you grace to die with these holy Names on your lips and in your heart.'

“My past, O Lord, to Your mercy; my present, to Your love; my future to Your providence.”
