Removing Temptation

When Francis had been troubled by a very grave temptation for more than two years, he happened to be praying in the church of St. Mary one day, when he heard in spirit the words of the Gospel: If you have faith, though it be like a grain of mustard seed, you have only to say to this mountain, Remove from this place to that, and it will remove. At once blessed Francis asked, 'Lord, what is this mountain?' And the reply came, 'This mountain is your temptation.' 'In this case, Lord,' said blessed Francis, 'let it happen to me as You have said.' And from that moment he was so completely freed that it seemed to him as though he had never had any temptation.
