Quote #31

A hermit said, 'Satan has three powers that lead us into all sins: forgetfulness, negligence, selfish desire. If forgetfulness comes, the result is negligence, and negligence is the source of selfish desire. Selfish desire will be our downfall. A serious mind will not be forgetful, and negligence will not become a problem. With Christ's help, selfish desire will not rule us'.
