Spirits

Listen to what Ignatius of Loyola says about spirits. For those of you who are advancing toward salvation, i.e., you have been forgiven your sins and humbled yourself such that you have taken on the yoke of Christ, the two spirits, the good and the evil, attack you in different degrees  The good spirit invades your soul quietly and you progress with fortitude and temperance, and the evil spirit attacks with noisy and obvious events.  But those of you who are headed the wrong way, i.e., toward your destruction (hell), the evil spirit invades you quietly, as if you were walking into your own home through an open door.  The good spirit attempts to notify you with violent alerts and distractions, yet you refuse of observe and take heed.   your destruction or salvation is carried forward in direct proportion that the disposition of your soul is like or unlike either spirit.
