“If you invoke the Blessed Virgin when you are tempted, she will come at once to your help, and Satan will leave you.”

                                           -St. John Vianney

For Reflection:           

God permits us to be tempted to strengthen us. When we conquer temptation, we grow in self-mastery and  become forceful instruments for God’s work. Why do you think Our Lady is the perfect intercessor for us when we are tempted? How are you being tempted today? What virtue may God be seeking to cultivate in you through it? Ask Mary to intercede for you in this regard.
