Peace in your heart

October 11

“The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin…. If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors.”

– 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.

It spilled onto the earth, placing all generations of humanity in a perpetual state of general quarters.”

 – Johnnette Benkovic Williams and Thomas K. Sullivan

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)
