“If any bad thought comes to you, make the sign of the cross, or say the Our Father, or strike your breast, and try to think of something else. If you do that, the thought will actually be winning you merit, because you will be resisting it.”

                                          -St. Teresa of Avila 

For Reflection: 

What a transforming way to look at temptation! Today I will follow St. Teresa’s advice and examine conscience at day’s end to see how well I have done.
