The Devil never stops, but so what?

Troy Kroening | 06/15/2022

While it is true that the Devil never stops, that should not discourage us. Does Heaven stop trying to help us? Not only God, but all of the angels and all of the saints. Not only is God more powerful than all of the demons trying to destroy us, but there are twice as many angels than demons, since one third of the angels went with Satan, leaving two thirds.

Let us not forget about all of the saints besides. They have lived this life and know the hardships, much like Our Lord. The saints are pulling for us. Brothers and sisters encouraging us by their examples and waiting to assistance if we but ask them. With all of Heaven looking to help us, why should we be discouraged by the Devil’s attacks?

Of course the Devil is going to attack. You are, after all, the image and likeness of God. God became man in order to die for us and save us from our sins, out of love for us. If the Devil hates God, he will surely hate you. As Jesus says, “but take courage, I have conquered the world.” [John 16:33] We have nothing to fear if we love Jesus.

Mary, the Devil despises you and your motherly protection toward us. Keep us safe from the Devil’s attacks and encourage us in the Rosary everyday as we draw closer to you and your Son, Who gained for us salvation. Amen.

I am an adopted son of God through baptism, though still a great sinner. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and 11 lovely children, 3 of which have gone to Heaven before their birth.

I love the Rosary and started sharing little Catholic reflections with others. My little reflections have helped deepen my faith and I hope they can help others as well. Though not always fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, I enjoy when He takes over and seeing what direction He takes the reflection.

Please say a prayer for me and I will continue to pray for all who read my little reflections, especially for them to be read as the Holy Spirit intends. St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for the success of my little reflections and for all of Catholic365 and its readers.
