Fourteenth Rule. The evil spirit will attack you in your
weaknesses. Know your weak points and strengthen
them quickly with the Lord. Again, apply the sixth rule.
Thirteenth Rule. The evil spirit conducts himself as a
false lover in wishing to remain secret and not be
revealed. Reveal secret evil thoughts, temptations, and
problems to a good confessor or to another holy
confidant—those who know how the enemy works.
Twelfth Rule. The evil spirit is a bully. You must
confront him head on and be firm and oppose him. If
you do not, he will take advantage of your weaknesses
and weaken you further
Tenth Rule. When in consolation, strengthen yourself
and think about how you will act when desolation comes
again.
Eleventh Rule. When in consolation, be humble and
thank God for this grace. When in desolation, take
strength in God and know that, again, He has given you
sufficient grace to resist the enemy.
Seventh Rule. When in desolation, know that the Lordis really with you and has given you enough grace toresist agitations and temptations from the enemy. This isa test for you. Trust that the Lord is near and has givenyou enough grace for eternal salvation. Keep calling outto Him.Eighth Rule. When in desolation, be patient and knowthat the Lord will soon console you. Again, keepworking against the desolation as in the sixth rule.
The combo
Fifth Rule. When in desolation, do not change yourgoals or your prayer life. [If you say the Rosary everyday, keep saying iteveryday no matter how you feel.]Sixth Rule. When in desolation, be active and workagainst it by doing more prayer, meditation, examination(of root causes), and penance.

We have Aaron and Emily Lofy as guess to talk aboout the sacramentality of marriage. How they discerned marriage? The invitation God had for both of them before marriage? And how to live out the salvific reality of marriage.
We got some feedback on that particular episode to have us clarify what we meant, about God's infinite love and human brokenness that does happen to us. What is possible for us in a new identity in Christ!!
