23rd Sunday After Pentecost
Conquer Satan
Make an effort , then, to meet more frequently to celebrate God’s Eucharist
and to offer praise. For, when you meet frequently in the same place, the
forces of Satan are overthrown, and his baneful influence is neutralized by
the unanimity of your faith. Peace is a precious thing: it puts an end to
every war waged by heavenly or earthly enemies.
St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Ephesians.
