“IN the first place, take care never to harbor voluntarily in your heart any thought calculated to grieve, disquiet, or dishearten it. From one point of view, such thoughts are more dangerous than impure temptations. Your need then, is to allow them to pass you by, despising them and letting them fall like a stone into the sea. You must resist them by concentrating your attention upon contrary reflections . . .”

— Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade, Letters of Fr. de Caussade on the Practice of Self-Abandonment
