Saint quote 9/25/23
"The enemy will run like a wild ass from the man who has tasted the sweetness of prayer."
St. Cleopas
First off, I love this quote. I found it while looking for which saint's feast day it was today, and now we have it here. And I know most of you know this, but for those who don't "ass" in this context means donkey.
So, this quote makes me think of the devil and us. Y'know how people talk about rosaries being weapons? They really are. The devil comes to tempt you (the enemy in the quote is the devil here), and if you pull out a rosary, or really any prayer, he will "run like a wild ass". So taste the sweetness of prayer, and use if against the devil. I think most people don't realize how powerful prayer is. I mean, saying one Hail Mary is like stabbing the devil, and a full rosary? So, I guess my point is, pray more often, and the devil stays farther away. Satan will try to tempt you, but call on the Holy Spirit, and he should help!
thank anyone and everyone who sees and reads this, may you have an✨amazing✨ day :)
God bless you!
