ACC ~ James 4 v7

GIVING MORE GRACE. ANDREAS: If death came into the world by the malice of the devil, and Christ dwells in the inner man according to the Scriptures, this is the reason why he dwells in us, that he might destroy the death which has come upon us through the devil’s cunning. And not only this, but that he might give us more grace as well. For he said: “I have come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.” CATENA.

FIGHT AGAINST CAPTIVITY. CAESARIUS OF ARLES: Let us fight as hard as we can, with the Lord’s help, against that most harsh captivity of the soul [which is the devil’s ability to divert our thoughts away from spiritual concerns]. SERMONS 77.7.
