The article describes the thought of St. Gregory the Great on the subject of demonic temptations based on the Morals – commentary on the Book of Job. The basis of Satan's hatred for man is the desire to oppose God's plan and to deprive man of the possibility of salvation. Through temptations, the wickedness forms corpus diaboli , i.e. a community opposing its Creator. However, all evil spirits are limited by God, so that they are not able to destroy the Creator's plan, and even unknowingly lead to the salvation of many people. The rest of the article presents the basic features of temptations through which St. Gregory the Great tries to sensitize believers to the subtle actions of evil spirits who, promising ephemeral good, deprive man of God's grace.
