| | The Means Necessary For Salvation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | These means are, first, diffidence in ourselves; secondly, confidence in God; thirdly, resistance to temptations. |
 | | Humility and diffidence in ourselves are so necessary for us, that God permits us sometimes to fall into sin, that, by our fall, we may acquire humility and a knowledge of our own weakness. |
 | | Some would wish to be saved and to become saints, but never resolve to adopt the means of salvation, such as meditation, the frequentation of the sacraments, detachment from creatures; or, if they adopt these means, they soon give them up. |
