Those of you who know me, know what I'm talking about.
St. Michael the Archangel...pray for us.
I was talking to my friend the other day about the spiritual battle going on. It's interesting to think about and to analyze. While I was hanging out with the Benedictines one of the monks was talking to us about St. Bernadette and that when she came to the grotto there were demons crawling around everywhere, but that at the appearance of Mary they ran frightened. It's so true. The Blessed Mother in every way frightens evil. So call to Jesus and to her if you need help in that area. We also spoke about things like the movie "The Exorcism of Emily Rose". This question came up...Can Satan be in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament?
Then I found this from the account "Begone Satan"
"One may ask: Does Satan dare at all to remain in the presence of the All Holy? How can he endure it? Does he not run off like a whipped cur? All we need to remember is that Satan dared to approach our Lord fasting in the desert. He even dared to take the Saviour upon a high pinnacle at Jerusalem; and again he carried Him up on a high mountain-top. If he showed himself so powerful then, he has not changed since. "
