Third Sunday in the Feast of Lent - Resisting Evil

 

The Wilderness in Israel

The concept of the Devil is strange for our modern ears.  The Devil is the 'bogie man'. He is definitely male, and has a life of his own.  In my mind I see evil as the absence of light.  Without darkness, light cannot exist.  Goodness is the counterbalance to evil.  Evil forces run like an underground river beneath the surface of our society.  From time to time we see the river emerge.  We smell it, and acknowledge it as evil. Most of the time it is subtle and deceptive.  What looks good, is actually bad. be wary and question all titles.  The more emphatically pronounced, the more caution to apply. 

PRAYER: I am only interested in the light of your salvation.  I look to you alone.
