Temptation is not the same as sin.

certainly isnt ~ classic example our Lord's temptation in the wilderness....and he was without sin......

recently watched the film of Saint Pio ~ he was tormented constantly by the evil one appearing to him (even tempting him with Padre pio's spiritual daughter) ~ also other scenes of his attack in his cell by demonic forces ~

Temptation (as was in the wilderness with Jesus) is the evil ones attempt to make people fall.

Prayers, perseverance and loving trust in God are our shield always.
St Michael protect all

When one doesn't give into the temptation, one is practicing VIRTUE!
