My beloved, victory requires struggle.
There is no victory without a battle.
We live in a world where it is desired that people, and especially the youth,
may be defeated in their struggle and “freed” to become enslaved.
If we observe the demonic work around us,
we can see its deception for it wants to give us the impression that in fact,
there is no need for a spiritual battle.
Many passions are now proclaimed as the norm and it’s no longer desired to fight against them!
The enemy hides itself but is at work:
“I write unto you young men, because you have overcome the evil” says St John, the apostle of love.
The enemy has become very cleaver and it gives us the impression – in various ways – that there’s no need to fight.
