'Fasting is most intimately connected with prayer. For the mind of one who is filled with food and drink is so borne down as not to be able to raise itself to the contemplation of God, or even to understand what prayer means.' - Catechism of the Council of Trent
If we are to see a change of heart in those for whom we have been praying these past few weeks, we need to include fasting as well. We all know that this is a spiritual war, and our battle is not with those for whom we pray; but rather with the prince of darkness - satan!
Please continue to pray for Steven Brigham and beseech Our Lord to send his angels to help us. We pray that Jesus' Love would flood Mr. Brigham's soul and bring him out of satan's darkness and into God's Glorious Light.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
