Temptations

No one is free from temptation. 
The road of life is usually long and arduous enough to wear anyone out. We can experience so many letdowns in our daily life... If that fatigue is only physical, then the remedy is within our reach: one goes to the doctor and follows the prescribed cure. Unfortunately, and more often than not, weariness attacks the soul. It is a culpable kind of tiredness because we have abandoned the means that nourish our spiritual life. And without prayer and the Eucharist, there is no saint that can endure such trials.
