2 25 Scrts of spiritual struggl that Jsus rvald to St. Faustina (Part 2) How to protct yourslf from dmon attacks 8. Always justify to yourslf th opinions of your supriors and of your confssor. Christ is spaking to St. Faustina who livs in a convnt. But w all hav popl in authority ovr us. Th dvil aims to divid and conqur so humbl obdinc toauthntic authority is a spiritual wapon. 9. Shun murmurs lik a plagu. Th tongu is a powrful vssl that can do grat harm. Murmuring, gossiping, is nvr of God. Th dvil is a liar who stirs up fals accusations and gossip that can kill a prson s rputation. Shun murmurs! 10. Lt all act as thy lik; you ar to act, as I want you to. To mind on s own businss is ky in spiritual warfar. Th dvil is a busybody attmpting to drag vryon down. Plas God and lt th opinions of othrs go by th waysid. 11. Obsrv th rul as faithfully as you can. Jsus is rfrring to th rul of a Rligious Ordr hr. Most of us hav mad som vow bfor God and Church and w should b faithful our promiss i.. Marriag vows and baptismal vows. Satan tmpts to in idlity, lawlssnss and disobdinc. Fidlity is a wapon for victory. 12. If somon causs you troubl, think what good you can do for th prson who causd you to suffr. Bing a vssl of divin mrcy is a wapon for good and for dfating vil. Th dvil is about hatrd, rag, rvng, and unforgivnss. Othrs hav hurt us all at som tim. What good can w do in rturn? Rturning a blssing braks curss. 13. Do not pour out your flings. A talkativ soul will mor asily b attackd by th dvil. Pour out your flings to th Lord only. Rmmbr, th good and vil spirits har what you say aloud. Flings ar lting. Truth is th compass. Intrior rcollction is a spiritual armor. 14. B silnt whn you ar rbukd. Most of us hav bn rbukd at som tim. W hav no control ovr that but w can control our rspons. Th nd to b right all th tim can lad into dmonic traps. God knows th truth. Lt it go. Silnc is a protction. Th dvil can us slf-rightousnss to trip us up also. 15. Do not ask vryon s opinion, but only th opinion of your confssor; b as frank and simpl as a child with him. Simplicity of lif can driv out dmons. Honsty is a wapon to dfat Satan, th Liar. Whn w li w put a foot in his camp and h will try to sduc us all th mor. 16. Do not bcom discouragd by ingratitud. No on liks to b takn for grantd. But whn w ar mt with ingratitud or insnsitivity, th spirit of discouragmnt can wigh us down. Rsist all discouragmnt for it is nvr of God. It is on of th dvil s most ffctiv tmptations. Gratitud in all things wins th day. 17. Do not xamin with curiosity th roads down which I lad you. Th nd to know, and curiosity about th futur is a tmptation that has ld too many popl into th backrooms of psychics, witchs, tc. Choos to walk in faith. Dcid to trust in God who lads you on th path to havn. Rsist th spirit of curiosity always.

3 Eastr Sason Josf Pipr onc rmarkd that th human capacity for fstivity ariss from th ability to affirm all cration as good-from th ability to mbrac, in on rsounding ys, th lngth and brath, th hights and dpths of our xprinc in this world. W can har this ys in Mozart s music th play of light and shadow in th latr piano concrti; th poignant song of an obo rising abov a stady puls in a divrtimnto for winds. W can har it in th dlightd squals of a child as its fac is lickd by th moist tongu and hot brath of a nw puppy. W can har it in th contntd, prayrful whisprs of an ldrly womn full of lov, grac, and yars as sh prpars to mt dath with quit courag and dignity. Saying ys to all of lif, ltting all of it in that is fstivity s sustaining sourc. But thr s th rub. Fw of us can say ys to anything for vry long. W liv, aftr all, in an intnsly mobil cultur of fast food, fastr cars, disposabl diaprs and planning obsolscnc. Our gratst goal (as Andy Warhol onc quippd) is to b famous for fiftn minuts. At partis, w do not carry on convrsations, w postur rpating to on anothr snippts of dialogu from movis, br commrcials, sitcoms, or intrviws with sports clbritis. Small wondr that many in in our socity fl so isolatd and lonly, so unabl to connct, so incapabl of forming rlationships that last. Small wondr, too, that as a popl w find ourslvs incrasingly bord, angry and violnt nragd and trrifid by th awful mptinss that sms to strtch in vry dirction around us. Givn such cultural conditions, th Christian clbration of th blssd Pntcost will strik many as mad indd. Fifty days of dwlling in th paschal mystry! Fifty days of surrndring in joyful faith and lov as th Spirit of God taks possssion of our livs! Fifty days of mystagogy, of walking with th nophyts vr mor dply into th baptismal mystris of dath and rsurrction. Good havns! What an ordr! On rason why such a prolongd clbration striks us as difficult if not downright absurd is that w tnd to link fast and holidays with mindlss hoopla. Party tim, for many, is an invitation to oblitrat consciousnss, to gt wastd, to vg out, to forgt. But a sason of Christian fstival is prcisly th opposit. It is a tim of intnsifid consciousnss, finly tund awarnss, awaknd mmory. Th grat fifty days of Pntcost ar not an unwlcomd, unralistic, obligation to party on, vn if w don t fl lik it, but an invitation to xplor mor dply th wathr of th hart, to awakn our mmory of God s prsnc and powr in our livs, to look mor closly at all th rich and varid txturs of cration. In short, Pntcost is a sason for larning how to say ys in a cultur that wants to kp on saying no.
