Ave Maria!

When we reject Christ, does it mean that we simply stop attending church services? What are the consequences of making ourselves gods? In this episode of Spirit, Faith, & Family, guest Raymond deSouza discusses the nature of good and evil, the rise of Satanism in our modern times, & the need for Catholics to put on the “armor of God?? as described by the apostle Paul. Raymond expounds on the fact that evil is not the product of a lack of education or merely the absence of good: evil is a spirit who is perverted & who perverts, & whos proper name is Satan. As the Devil knows, “The best way to crush an enemy is not to beat him on the battlefield, but to remove from him the will to fight.?? Listen now to Raymond as he explains to us the nature of our battle & the tools we must use to fight.

Ave Maria!

For, Paul had two advantages: men want God, and God wants the salvation of men. We have these same advantages.
