LESSON FOUR
Once upon a time there was an individual who was doing some work at home for the Lord.
Let's call this person you (smile) and have the story take place in the present time.
THE BATTLE FOR PRECIOUS, IMMORTAL SOULS
THE BATTLE FOR PRECIOUS, IMMORTAL SOULS
One night you were doing some work at home for the Lord.
The work you were accomplishing for the Lord pleased Him very much because He was having you do it for the eternal benefit of many people.
Your work made the devil very angry because he hates people, and he did all he could to stop the work from progressing.
However, he could not stop God's will from being accomplished. The devil is very prideful and so that made him even angrier. He planned revenge and had a meeting with some of his collaborators.
SO MANY DEMONS THEY FILLED THE ENTIRE ROOM
That night, you suddenly awoke to find yourself surrounded
by demons. You saw them everywhere you looked.
There were so many of them they filled
the whole room, and every one of them was trying to grab hold of you. They hate the work you are doing for the Lord so much that they gathered together to come after you and tear you to pieces.
The room was filled with chaos as every one of them fought to get past the others to get to you. A great many of them were grabbing hold of you, and they were trying to pull you down towards the floor.
"There is no situation in which I am absent." ~ Jesus
Immediately you called out to Jesus and
Blessed Mother. Immediately They came to your assistance. Immediately the demons retreated.
THE
POWERFUL WEAPON FROM HEAVEN
You then found yourself alone and everything had returned to how it was, except for one thing. You noticed that your right hand was closed very tightly into a
fist.
You realized that the entire time you were resisting the demons, you had been holding
something in your hand and held onto it for dear life.
You did a very good job holding on!
In awe, you wondered, What is in my hand?
So you looked at your hand and gave it permission to open (smile) and guess what you were holding in it.
Humility.
What you held in your hand is the foundation of all the virtues.
The beginning.
"Trust all things to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary, Help of Christians,
and you will see what miracles are."
~ Saint John Bosco
