“When God has appointed a way, we must faithfully follow it and never think of another under pretense that it is more easy and safe. It is one of the Devil’s artifices to set before a soul some state, holy indeed, but impossible to her, or at least different from hers, so that by a love of novelty, she may dislike, or be slack in her present state in which God has placed her and which is best for her. In like manner, he represents to her other acts as more holy and profitable to make her conceive a disgust for her present employment.” St. Ignatius of Loyola, The Spiritual Exercises  (This translation is directly quoted from “Lives of Saints” edited by Fr. Joseph Vann, O.F.M., Nihil Obstat: John M. A. Fearns, S.T.D., Censor Libororum, Imprimatur+ Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, August 7, 1954)
