 1  Prol,   0|    temptations which come from the devil, and which, because they
 2  Prol,   0|         For the snares laid by the devil for strictly cloistered
 3  Unic,   1|        those others, belong to the devil? They have won severe punishment
 4  Unic,   4|          can result from this. The devil sets many snares here which
 5  Unic,   4|       inclined to believe that the devil initiates them so as to
 6  Unic,   4|        difficulties with which the devil might ensnare us, so that
 7  Unic,   4|      nothing at all; for, when the devil begins to make trouble in
 8  Unic,   4|             I will repeat that the devil can do a great deal of harm
 9  Unic, App|             And then forthwith the devil lets loose upon them a whole
10  Unic, App|         not told about it. But the devil is so active that this is
11  Unic, App|           too fond of him, and the devil will then grow tired and
12  Unic,   5|          help me! What trouble the devil can make here and how dearly
13  Unic,   5|            and that is the way the devil lays his snares for souls
14  Unic,   5|            be remedied. For if the devil should tempt the confessor,
15  Unic,   5|                             If the devil is prevented from entering
16  Unic,   7|   otherwise, little by little, the devil could easily cool our charity
17  Unic,   7|         careful and alert, for the devil never slumbers. And the
18  Unic,   7|          these hidden wiles of the devil and making him declare his
19  Unic,  10|          entanglements laid by the devil so dearly loved by our Teacher,
20  Unic,  10|            you have come here. The devil tells us that self-indulgence
21  Unic,  10|       couple of days; and then the devil puts it into their heads
22  Unic,  10|      against them; for if once the devil begins to frighten us about
23  Unic,  11|        which women suffer, for the devil sometimes makes you imagine
24  Unic,  12|         humble, I do not think the devil will dare to tempt her to
25  Unic,  12|         tempted in this way by the devil, that virtue cannot fail
26  Unic,  12|          to avenge yourself on the devil and free yourselves more
27  Unic,  12|       anything, in fact -- and the devil will then induce someone
28  Unic,  12|           could not bear more. The devil is simply putting his deceitfulness
29  Unic,  12|            a door is opened to the devil by which he can enter on
30  Unic,  13|           by many virtues. For the devil does not allow a single
31  Unic,  16|            out of the hands of the devil. It must be understood,
32  Unic,  16|        becomes the property of the devil, and must take its delight
33  Unic,  16|             snatch them out of the devil's hands.48~
34  Unic,  16|           Thee to wrestle with the devil! Was it not enough that
35  Unic,  17|        from God or are sent by the devil. If they are not of God,
36  Unic,  17|            the chief object of the devil's work on earth is to fill
37  Unic,  18|        deceived and deluded by the devil, as He has permitted others:
38  Unic,  19|       desire for it. I believe the devil has something to do with
39  Unic,  19|                    And what if the devil had anything to do with
40  Unic,  19|           who was persuaded by the devil to throw himself down a
41  Unic,  21| difficulties put in the way by the devil.~
42  Unic,  21|          have been invented by the devil, who has apparently been
43  Unic,  21|       practise prayer and whom the devil has been successful enough
44  Unic,  21|          must indeed come from the devil. Oh, my Lord, defend Thyself.
45  Unic,  21|            sees clearly whence the devil's blows are coming, but
46  Unic,  21|          which this arouses in the devil is greater than all the
47  Unic,  21|          at the fog with which the devil has obscured their path. (
48  Unic,  23|            that this will give the devil less opportunity to tempt
49  Unic,  26|          were the ministers of the devil himself. Yet, terrible as
50  Unic,  27|             Thou didst deceive the devil, and conceal from him that
51  Unic,  27|             I cannot think how the devil failed to understand from
52  Unic,  35|          which may happen, for the devil will try to oppress and
53  Unic,  35|           can do in this way), the devil will make you think that
54  Unic,  36|        wary. You see, sisters, the devil has not forgotten us. He
55  Unic,  36|           was an insult; next, the devil would discover reasons for
56  Unic,  36|           illusion coming from the devil, which he makes us think
57  Unic,  38|         consolations come from the devil, and knowing themselves
58  Unic,  38|        this, I feel sure, that the devil loses them: he thinks that
59  Unic,  38|                          Where the devil can do great harm without
60  Unic,  38|         other piece of advice. The devil makes us believe that we
61  Unic,  38|           suffer all this, and the devil encourages us in the belief,
62  Unic,  38|                                The devil has yet another temptation,
63  Unic,  38|                                The devil makes you think you are
64  Unic,  38|          we were going to say, the devil could not possibly lead
65  Unic,  38|      bodies of ours alive." So the devil, in his angelic disguise,
66  Unic,  39|        kinds of humility which the devil inculcates in us and which
67  Unic,  39|        private prayer, because the devil suggests to us that we are
68  Unic,  39|        grievous is it. I think the devil is anxious for us to believe
69  Unic,  39|           farther than before! The devil, seeing that here are souls
70  Unic,  39|         You might suppose that the devil never tempted those who
71  Unic,  39|      described are deceived by the devil, so that, if the deception
72  Unic,  40|      against contemplatives by the devil -- such souls have no little
73  Unic,  40|            to give them death, the devil will give them life, with
74  Unic,  40|        fantasies and illusions the devil may invent, he will at once
75  Unic,  40|         these great blessings, the devil will suggest to it a thousand
76  Unic,  40|            is of little use to the devil to suggest these fears?
77  Unic,  41|           imperfections, which the devil will implant in you in other
