This episode is on resisting Desolation. St. Ignatius calls us to consider how we are left to our natural powers and what we should do. God whether we feel it or not is still with us giving us grace.

Timothy Gallagher, “Discernment of Spirits, An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living.” Baruch 4:5-12, 16-23, 27-29, Matthew 16:13-17 St. Philip Neri “Do not grieve over the temptations you suffer. When the Lord intends to bestow a particular virtue on us, He often permits us first to be tempted by the opposite vice. Therefore, look upon every temptation as an invitation to grow in a particular virtue and a promise by God that you will be successful, if only you stand fast.”
