Life on earth is a warfare

October 10
"Recognize it or not, our life on earth is a warfare (see CCC, 409), and every day and age from the beginning of time tells the story of our combat with diabolic forces, a war between good and evil. This battle originated in the heavens before the dawn of humanity but was not confined there. It spilled onto the earth, placing all generations of humanity in a perpetual state of general quarters."
 - Johnnette Benkovic Williams and Thomas K. Sullivan

The final confrontation

October 8
"We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society, or wide circles of the Christian community, realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the Gospel and the anti-gospel. This confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence; it is a trial which the whole Church must take up."
 - Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II)
Today's Reflection:
Why are many blind to the spiritual battle that is being waged around us? How can we help removing the scales?
