descaecer

Fueron puestos por dechados a todos los religiosos, y más nos deben mover para aprovechar en el bien que no la muchedumbre de los tibios para aflojar y descaecer.
They were given as an example for all religious, and their power to stimulate us to perfection ought to be greater than that of the lukewarm to tempt us to laxity.
Si bien lo entiendes, y lo miras a la luz de la verdad, nunca te debes entristecer ni descaecer tanto por las adversidades, sino antes holgarte más y darme gracias; y tener por único gozo que afligiéndote con dolores, yo te perdono.
If you think aright and view things in their true light, you should never be so dejected and saddened by adversity, but rather rejoice and give thanks, considering it a matter of special joy that I afflict you with sorrow and do not spare you.
