We walk among scandals and traps; let us pray not to fall into them.
The traps of death are full of sweetness. Let our soul not bind to their sweetness.
The sweetness of the traps of death is the concern for earthly things, for money and thoughts and wicked deeds.
Do not be tempted by the sweetness of the trap of death.
Saint Ephraim the Syrian
