Christ Condemns Compromise With Evil
The teaching of the Catholic Church is clear: we cannot compromise with the devil. The devil has forces that surround us. The celebrations that we have in the Church every day are necessary to defeat the devil.

The lie is an important part of the devil's tactics. You will be equal to God, Satan tempted Eve. Eve should have believed God, but she showed that free will is part of man's characteristic personality and she gave in to the temptation.

It's easy enough to show the opposite reaction in the threefold temptation of Our Lord in the desert. Jesus rejected pleasure, power, and fame in order to demonstrate the true happiness of unity with God. It is this faith of ours that keeps us alive in the Lord.

The Devil Deceives
During the present persecution of the Church in Camden, we have seen how the forces of evil (Satan) can entice the majority into complacency. The life of grace, which is divine life, shows through the false promises of the devil. We must be totally Committed to Our Lord through His Holy Mother. Our devotional life leads us to the love of God and therefore we give Him the honor that He deserves. Any other method of approaching God is wrong.

Our Lord & His Church are Truth
The Catholic Church has the answer to life's problems in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which shows that God chooses certain men to lead a parish in the way of Truth. Truth is the only way to live because it is the way of Jesus, Our Lord, who brings us into Heaven. Sacrificing the pleasures of this life is the way we appreciate the love of God and enjoy this presence. "Learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light," Saint Matthew 11:29-30.

Sunday we celebrated the Triumph of the True Cross, Monday the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Every day we take up our cross and find rest and peace in the cross, the Way of Salvation. That salvation is NOW--our oneness, unity with the Lord in Truth enables us to transform the face of the earth. We are chosen by the Lord to do this. Saint Paul emphasizes that there are those who are called, and that the Lord justifies and glorifies.
