Feast Day of St. Leo the Great

Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife. ~St. Leo the Great

My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations.  James 1:2

Thank you, my Jesus, for all the temptations You so lovingly allow me to experience.  Through Your goodness and mercy, may they bring me closer to You and help me to grow in virtue, all for the Father's  praise and glory.  Amen.
