St. Thomas Aquinas comes and says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today, I have come to tell you that discouragement and guilt often go hand in hand. These two are both Satan's tools. Together they promote insecurity in the soul that sets out with good intentions. He is made to feel his efforts in the past were inadequate and so they will be inadequate in the future. In this way Satan sets him up for failure before he begins.”

“But you must understand that God can bring good from any situation. He can turn the feeblest efforts into a great and decisive victory. Each soul must learn to recognize Satan's guises. If the soul is blind to this, the adversary enters the picture like a Trojan horse. I tell you, the battle is half won when the enemy is recognized.”
