At one moment the devil takes away all fear, lest you fall: at another he increases it, that you may yield: and both to your destruction.

St Ignatius

It should constantly be our care to see God’s presence in everything, and not only to raise our minds to him when we are at prayer.

St Ignatius

St Ignatius

St Ignatius
