Prowling for Pray
Be
sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a
roaring lion looking for [someone] to devour. Resist him, steadfast in
faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo
the same sufferings. (1 Pet 5:8-9)
St. Peter’s words are frank. They should awaken every
single one of us to a stark reality: we are being hunted daily, hourly,
every second by a fallen angel and his minions. Few people understand
this relentless assault on their souls. In fact, we live in a time where
some theologians and clergy have not only downplayed the role of
demons, but have denied their existence altogether. Perhaps it is divine
providence in a way when movies such as the The Exorcism of Emily Rose or The Conjuring based
on “true events” appear on the silver screen. If people do not believe
in Jesus through the Gospel message, perhaps they will believe when they
see His enemy at work.
