English (5): Against Satan

When I was child, I ever heard that my friend said to the other: “ you are Satan, go away! He said loudly and angrily…”

Who are Satan? Honestly, when I was child, I don’t know exactly what does mean.

Satan was thrown out of heaven because of his rebellion against God. Satan continues to oppose God and will try to use us as his flunkies, because we are the only creatures who have a free will by which we also can rebel against God. For instance, Jesus healed a mute man by driving a demon out of him

In our world, God is constantly acting. Because He is all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful, He is taking the initiative in countless circumstances. Satan is always reacting.

St. Teresa of Avila said that God has no hands but our hands, no feet but our feet,. Although there is no "body of Satan," he also has no hands but our hands, no feet but our feet, no voice but our voices, no eyes but ours. Therefore, "no more shall you offer the members of your body to sin as weapons for evil. Rather, offer yourselves to God as men who have come back from the dead to life, and your bodies to God as weapons for justice"

We celebrate the Holy Cross. We believe that the holy cross becomes the sign of our faith to against and to destroy Satan. May our cross can beat Satan in our daily life.
