Holy wisdom confounds Satan and all his wickednesses.

We must not be wise and prudent according to the flesh. Rather, we must be simple, humble and pure.

Holy poverty confounds cupidity and avarice and the cares of this world.

Holy humility confounds pride and all the men of this world and all things that are in the world.

Holy charity confounds all diabolical and fleshly temptations and all fleshly fears.
