True Joy Of Spirit

St. Francis maintained that the safest remedy against the thousand snares and wiles of the enemy is spiritual joy. For hew would say: "Then the devil rejoices most when he can snatch away spiritual joy from a servant of God. He carries dust so that he can throw it into even the tiniest chinks of conscience and soil the candor of mind and purity of life. But when spiritual joy fills the hearts," he said, "the serpent throws off his deadly poison in vain. The devils cannot harm the servant of Christ when they see he will filled with holy joy."

Saint Francis of Assisi
Celano, Second Life
Chapter LXXXVIII:125
