There Can Be No Dialogue with the Devil
“There can be no dialogue with the prince of this world: let this be clear! Today, dialogue is necessary among us humans, it is necessary for peace. … But with that prince, it is impossible to dialogue; one can only respond with the Word of God who defends us, for the world hates us—and just as he did with Jesus, so will he do with us. ‘Only look,’ he will say, ‘just do this one small little scam…it is a small matter, nothing really.” And so he begins to lead us on a road that is slightly off. This is a pious lie: ‘Do it, do it, do it: there is no problem,’ and it begins little by little, always, no? Then [he says]: ‘But…you’re good, you’re a good person—You [get away with] it.’ It is flattering—and he softens us by flattery: and then, we fall into the trap.”

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you…..James 4:7

PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE HOLY MOTHER
Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children,
cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect
confidence.

OBEDIENCE
Obedience is a penance of reason, and, on that account, a sacrifice more acceptable than all corporal penances and mortifications.
