Revelation 12:7-12 <*{{{{>< + ><}}}}*> John 1:47-51
Thank you dearest God our loving Father for your gift of Archangels helping us fight our many spiritual battles in life; the wholesale corruption and looting in government in connivance with some contractors has unmasked the realities of the demons led by Satan working hard here in on earth right in our country; more than the billions of pesos they have looted from government, they have put so many lives in danger and misery.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the Authority of his Anointed… They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; love for life did not deter them from death. Therefore, rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them. But woe to you, earth and sea, for the Devil has come down to you in great fury, for he knows he has but a sort time” (Revelation 12:10, 11-12).
But the greatest spiritual battle against evil and sin, Lord happens not in government offices nor halls of Congress nor of the streets; they happen right here in our hearts. All the evil happening now started in our selfish hearts, in our malicious minds, in our uncontrolled appetites for comfort and luxuries. Help us fight the demons within us, Lord Jesus; pray for us, St. Michael that we may have the strength and courage to stand firm in what is true and just; pray for us St. Gabriel that we may speak the gospel and life of God in this world so misled by the words and images of evil masquerading as good and beautiful; pray for us St. Raphael that we may heal from our many afflictions in body, mind, heart and soul. Amen. Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Our Lady of Fatima University Valenzuela City ([email protected])
