TEMPTATIONS
We are greatly exposed to temptations when our body is too well-nourished and when it is greatly weakened. The one makes it insolent while at ease, the other renders it desperate while ill-at-ease. We cannot carry it when it is too fat, so too it cannot carry us when it is very weak. (Introduction to the Devout Life, Part III, Chapter 23)
​
If we feel pleasantly attracted by temptation, that is only natural. We are made in such a way that anything good irresistibly attracts us, be its goodness real or only apparent; so temptation always uses something of the sort for bait. (Treatise on the Love of God, Book 4, Chapter 3)
