Temptation is a clever craftsman. He is able to make small things loom large. Temptation disquiets, saddens, and creates external battles. He knows many arts. He brings man to doubt. For this reason we have many shipwrecks. When we are beset by temptations, that\u2019s when the grace of God comes. When one undergoes temptation, he recognizes his weakness, is humbled and attracts the grace of God. Don\u2019t let the winds of temptation affect you. They can\u2019t do you any harm.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"9734l\" data-offset-key=\"e0g5o-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"e0g5o-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"e0g5o-0-0\">&#8211; Quoted in \u2018Precious Vessels of the Holy Spirit\u2019<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"e0g5o-0-0\">\n<div id=\"attachment_5583\" style=\"width: 219px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5583\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5583\" src=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/9574-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/9574-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/9574.jpg 557w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">vvlasidis@uowm.gr<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIn the hour in which we are tempted we must be patient and pray.
