Reading: To be indifferent to or to deny fiendish interference and temptation is the rankest kind of presumption; such folly almost makes us fear that the fiends are already in possession of that rash soul. Listen, O heedless, unprayerful Christian, listen to the warning of St. Peter: "Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour." (l Pet. 5:8) As evil spirits tempt and harass the soul of earth's poor pilgrim, so do the good angels help and protect him in his struggles. Holy Archangel Michael's hosts watch and defeat and confound the minions of Satan. Then, too, each and every one has his Angel Guardian whose duty it is to guide and defend his charge night and day. "He hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways." (Ps. 90:11) (MCM, p. 92)
