During his weekly General Audience Wednesday morning, Pope Francis continues his catechesis series on the Holy Spirit and reminds that despite Satan's attempts to distract and tempt us, the Lord enables us to free ourselves of his trickery and deception.The Lord protects us from being deceived by the devil....
Pope Francis gave this comforting observation during his Wednesday morning General Audience in St. Peter's Square, while, at the same time, urging the faithful to"never dialogue with the devil." As he continued his catechesis series on the Holy Spirit, he turned this week to the Gospel account of Jesus’ temptations in the desert.The Pope recalled a Church Father's observation that once Christ, on the Cross,"defeated forever the power of the ‘prince of this world’, the devil was"bound, like a dog on a chain; he cannot bite anyone, except he who, braving the danger, goes near him...
The saints' efforts to grow in virtue and holiness, he observed, testify to the sinister reality"of the spirit of evil and the need to struggle against temptations to sin."The Holy Father emphasized that the Lord's victory over the power of evil and sin"gives us sure hope" that, by trusting in His word and strengthened by the grace of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome the devil's attempts to distract us.
"Be careful, because the devil is cunning," Pope Francis said,"but we Christians, with God's grace," he reassured,"are smarter than he is."
