Saint Quote of the Day- 5 Reasons We Are Assailed By Demons
'There are said to be five reasons why God allows us to
be assailed by demons. The first is so that, by attacking and
counterattacking, we should learn to discriminate between virtue and
vice. The second is so that, having acquired virtue through conflict and
toil, we should keep it secure and immutable. The third is so that,
when making progress in virtue, we should not become haughty but learn
humility. The fourth is so that, having gained some experience of evil,
we should "hate it with perfect hatred" (cf. Ps. 139:22). The fifth and
most important is so that, having achieved dispassion, we should forget
neither our own weakness nor the power of Him who has helped us.'
