“So soon as you feel yourself anywise tempted, do as your little children when they see a wolf or a bear in the mountains. Forthwith they run to the protection of their father or mother, or at least cry out for help. Do you fly in like manner to God, claiming His compassion and succor – it is the remedy taught us by our Lord Himself: ‘Pray that ye enter not into temptation.'”
