The Rosary is a powerful weapon

"The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin....

- Pope Pius XI

Life on earth is a warfare

October 10
"Recognize it or not, our life on earth is a warfare (see CCC, 409), and every day and age from the beginning of time tells the story of dour combat with diabolic forces, a war between good and evil. This battle originated in the heavens before the dawn of humanity but was not confined there. It spilled onto the earth, placing all generations of humanity in a perpetual state of general quarters."
 - Johnnette Benkovic Williams and Thomas K. Sullivan
Today's Reflection:
How do I struggle with good and evil in my life? In what ways can I combat evil by prayer of the Rosary, fasting, and almsgiving?

About the Poetry of Rumi

PC writes: "Can you please educate us about the Muslim philosopher Rumi? I have Catholic relatives that quote him all the time on Facebook. My relatives that are outside the church often respond by “liking” these quotes. Something about these Rumi quotes don’t sit well with me but I can’t put my finger on exactly what bothers me about his philosophy. Thank you."

The final confrontation

October 8

We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society, or wide circles of the Christian community, realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the Gospel and the anti-gospel. This confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence; it is a trial which the whole Church must take up."
 - Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II)
Today's Reflection:
Why are many blind to the spiritual battle that is being waged around us? How can we help removing the scales?
