Father Z. Creeps Me Out...AGAIN!

"My friends, the Devil is real. (Pope) Francis sure believes in the Enemy.

Let’s review.
The Devil and the fallen angels hate you.
They have angelic abilities. They never sleep, never tire, are never distracted, have no need to travel from point a to b, and they never miss what you are up to.
Think this through.
Imagine what sort of profile on you some government agency could put together.
Angels, the holy angels and the fallen, have missed nothing of your live since the instant of your conception.  And they never forget anything.
Fallen angels, the enemy, the Devil, can’t literally get into our heads or thoughts or touch our will, but they don’t have to in order to know us really well.
And they hate you.   They hate you.  They hate you.
With relentless malice the “prince of this world” will work to trick you into letting him have some control in your life.  Demons will cleverly and with perfect timing stimulate appetites and passions based on how well they know your proclivities.   They strive to twist your heart and mind away from God in order to diminish even by a little the love everyone will share in heaven as they shine in the magnified glory of the Trinity.
The Devil and other demons are always held in check by God.  They cannot simply have their way with us or the material cosmos around us unless God permits it according to His plan.   But they are devious and tireless.
It is good that Pope Francis talks about the Devil, the enemy of our soul, the prince of this world.
Remember your Guardian Angels.  Call on them to help you.  Remember Our Lady, Queen of Angels. Remember St. Joseph, whom we invoke in his beautiful litany as the “Terror daemonum… the Terror of demons”.
