Deliver us from the Evil one

In these pages Bernardo Olivera helps us to discern and recognize how the devil can act in our life and what kind of influence he can have. What is the relationship between Satan and the spiritual combat implied in our own journey to union with God? This book brings together the advice of the principal spiritual masters who have treated the subject with the realism that comes from their own experience of the devil's worst temptations, such as the laziness, bitterness and indifference that comes from the vice of acedia. The call is not to fight Satan directly, but to persevere in the humility and patience of Christ.

Quotes

  • Francisco Samourhas quoted3 years ago
    Precisely because we live in a world of seeing and feeling, any healthy spirituality has to be aware of how an atmosphere of images, sensations and experiences can be an instrument of the Devil, just as the Desert Fathers taught.
  • Francisco Samourhas quoted3 years ago
    “The Devil distracts us by luring us into passing pleasures and superficial entertainment, so we squander all the gifts God has given us.”
