If we want to hear the voice of Jesus, really hear Him, then maybe we have to stick around the Bible-talk longer than Satan did, to learn its accents and figures of speech, to anticipate where it is going and why.

The Church hasn’t been just sitting around. Layer upon layer of protection against unclean spirits has been put in place, and remains in place to this day. We all walk by hundreds of people every day in whom Jesus is alive and vigorously active. There is a red candle burning next to the place where Jesus is physically present in Catholic Churches all over the world. Millions of people will receive the very life of Jesus in their hands today.
