“Do you want to correct yourself of your faults? Anticipate to and avoid the occasions in which you have fallen; if you do not do this, the same causes will produce the same effects. Examine your life and you will see that the occasions and the dangerous companies are the ones that, every day, make you relapse into the same sins. A sailor does not approach but trembling to the place where before he was shipwrecked; a convalescent does not even dare to touch the fruit that made him sick; only the sinner looks for the occasions that lost him. What need is there to go somewhere, where each day it is necessary to overcome or perish?”
Saint Jerome
