He spent the melancholy

March 19
 

The devil, dear father, making me the war continues, and, unfortunately, does not seem to want to give up. In the early days when I tried, I confess my weakness was almost discouraged, but then gradually became melancholy and began to feel a little more lively. Then, to pray at the feet of Jesus, I find that I no longer feel or weight of fatigue caused me to beat me when I am tempted, nor the bitterness of temptation.
The temptations that relate to my life in the century are the ones that touch my heart, I cloud the mind, I produce a cold sweat - I say - make me shiver from head to toe. At this time the eyes do not serve only to mourn, and to comfort and cheer, I think what you gonna stating in their letters.
Also up to the altar, my God, I suffer the same assaults of the devil, but I have with Jesus and what shall I fear?
(March 19, 1911, Fr Benedict of San Marco in Lamis - Letters. I, p. 215)
