The world, the flesh and the devil are a band of adventurers who take advantage of the weakness of that savage you bear within you, and want you to hand over to them, in exchange for the glittering tinsel of a pleasure – which is worth nothing, – the pure gold and the pearls and the diamonds and rubies drenched in the life– blood of your GodRedeemer, which are the price and the treasure of your eternity.
– St. Josemaria Escriva, The Way, #708
