"Please, let us not do business with the devil! He seeks to return
home to take possession of us ... Do not relativize; be vigilant!
And always be with Jesus!" - Pope Francis
"Worship is a spiritual weapon. When we worship
God, we enter into His presence in a powerful way. Because demons tremble at His
presence, they are reluctant to follow us there.
No doubt the Devil is busy tempting us and trying
to distract us even when we attend Mass. But if we give ourselves wholly to
participating in the Mass, he has little room to operate. In fact, true worship
focuses our attention on God: praising Him for who He is and thanking Him for
what He has done.
When our minds and hearts are
centered on God, the Enemy’s
provocations and enticements lose their power. Frequent Mass attendance, then, is an effective weapon of
our warfare."
