Temptation. One must be careful not to be tempted by indecent acts, even those done with good intentions (fol. 11, pp. 50–51). – If something done in God, for the sake of spiritual purity, seduces others, should one abandon this activity? (f. 54, pp. 239–240). – And to this day the teaching of the cross serves as a temptation for the Jews and for the Greeks (f. 54, pp. 239–240).
This index is based on the index appended to the works of St. Isaac the Syrian, published by Optina Pustyn in 1854.
