Dear Parishioners,
How does Jesus resist the devil? He uses
the Sacred Scripture! Jesus came to
share his life with us; he did not come to
amass worldly goods and power. He did
not take his status as the Son of God, to
obtain privileges and take advantage of
others. He came to teach us the joy of
service.
Temptations will be with us up to our last dying
breath. Temptations normally present themselves
as something good. We can be easily deceived
for the devil always uses deception and cunning
tricks. He can appear very charming, even with
an “angelic face.” He is the Master of Disguises.

Many times we justify ourselves. I may have
given in to my instincts, but I am not hurting
anyone. Jesus never makes an agreement with
evil. He uses the Word of God as his defense.

Let’s follow the way of the saints, St. Therese
once said, “When the devil has succeeded in
keeping a soul from Holy Communion, he has
gained all his ends...while the Lord weeps.”                     Icon of the Divine Ascent
Let us take time for silence and prayer – just a little.     “Don’t let the devil pull you down!”
It will do us good. In these spaces let us stop and
look at what is stirring in our hearts, our inner truth, and learn how to stay with the grace moving in our
hearts. As the psalmist reminds us: “Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46).

Let us ask the Blessed Virgin to accompany us on our way of conversion.          Fr. . David
