Demons can make for great supernatural thrillers in the entertainment world, but they can also create havoc in our lives. We bump into them all the time—an unkind word, a sense of entitlement, a disparaging attitude toward ourselves or others.
Our demons may not be the apocalyptic creatures of the Twilight Zone or the latest “survival horror” video game, but they are very real and very deadly nonetheless. They can rob us of our conscience, of our God-given capacity to move toward the good, foster right relationships, and seek God always.
What demons am I tangling with and how might I, in the words of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (no. 385), be vigilant in shifting my focus to God and trusting in the “superabundance” of God’s grace?
“Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house.”
Luke 11:15-26 (465)
