We have one sword, the Prayer of Jesus. It is said, strike the unseen enemies with this sword, for there is no more powerful weapon, either in Heaven or on earth.

God is Love
It is given to our Church, through the Holy Spirit, to understand the mysteries of God, and she is strong in the holiness of her thought and her patience. The mystery of God, which the Church understands in the Holy Spirit, is the love of Christ.

All of life is a wonderful mystery, known only to God. In life there is not just an accidental chain of events – everything is providential.
