The Manna of the Soul Meditations for Each Day of the Year By Paolo Segneri:
"the second temptation
was to presumption, as though God's help must always be at
hand even in a peril which was voluntarily incurred"
We can't go into a certain state of life we know to be dangerous for our salvation and expect the God's help in the difficulties of that state, which could have been avoided.
"Consider that our eternal salvation is not only the greatest, but the only business we have, to which we ought to apply ourselves entirely lest we should do it ill."
"Salvation is our great and chief business; now a man's chief business takes up all his thoughts, and hardly gives him time to think of any other; and if this succeeds he comforts himself for the miscarriage of the rest." - Fr. Jean Croiset
