Listen, what is the mission of the church? What is the mission of any monotheistic religion? It is to fight the darkness, to assist archangel Michael in his advent against the dark forces. It is to fight the Satan.
That is the mission. Everything else is essentially just methods to do that.
Satan is real, it’s a spiritual entity, that conspires, all the time, to bring down just anyone. Lies, deciet, moral corruption, abuse.
This is what the dark lord does. Being a good man, is to stand in the long line of servants to g-d to hinder this abuse and deprivation.
That is the mission. Sometimes it gets clouded in the day to day life.
But it’s real, and it rests where people have the littlest. Where crime and corruption is ripe.
THAT is why we go out and help those who have little. Because it’s a fight against the father of lies. This is the fuel and the mission of the Catholic Church. It has always been the mission. And lest us not forget.
G-d bless the will to stand at guard of those who are in harms way. May the church be strong and courageous in the face of the dark lord.
