“When an evil thought is presented to the mind, we must immediately endeavor to turn our thoughts to God, or to something which is indifferent. But the best rule is, instantly to invoke the names of Jesus and Mary, and to continue to invoke them until the temptation ceases.”
                         ~St. Alphonsus Liguori
For Reflection:
What advice does St. Alphonsus Liguori give for overcoming evil thoughts? What makes his suggestions effective? What makes invoking the names of Jesus and Mary especially effective? Which of these suggestions will I employ when I am tempted? (See tomorrow’s Grace Line for one suggestion on how to overcome evil thoughts.)

Then there’s the “diviners”, the tarot card readers, psychics, “channelers” and I Ching masters who make predictions about our love lives and business dealings. The Christian need only compare these diviners to the great prophets of our faith such as Moses, Jeremiah, Isaiah and John the Baptist. Their predictions changed the course of history, the destinies of entire generations. Millions were warned away from dangerous lifestyles and brought back to paths of peace and prosperity in the safety of God’s law because of their prophecies.
