"Temptation to a
certain sin, to any sin whatsoever, might last throughout our whole life, yet
it can never make us displeasing to God’s Majesty provided we do not take
pleasure in it and give consent to it. You must have great courage in the midst
of temptation. Never think yourself overcome as long as they are displeasing to
you, keeping clearly in mind the difference between feeling temptation and
consenting to it."
-- St. Teresa of Avila
