All Saints

The saints overcame suffering and evil in the world through grace and faith and are now enjoying their reward.


We are all in the middle of spiritual warfare.  Praise God!  Christ is giving us the graces to confront this in order to provide comfort to the dear souls He loves so much.  People truly fooling themselves when surrendering to the devil, but let's not fret.  God will overcome.  The more and more I am dealing with the devil, the more I see the forlornness and banality of his evil.  He is desperate and pathetic.  I am convinced that God will eventually reign in the soul.  On our part, we must stay humble, prayerful, arduous, and faithful.  Remember, all power belongs only to God.  He is omnipotent.  The devil actually has no power whatsoever in himself (we don't even have power on our own), only the power that God allows (and the power we ourselves give the devil from our own free will - as Jennifer is doing).  St. Francis of Assisi use to say that the devil actually plays a purpose in our spiritual lives.  God allows the devil to tempt and (distract us) so we can eventually grow closer to Christ.  Saints like Francis and Padre Pio would literally fight with the devil every day, in order to become more holy.
