"Have courage, then, and move forward. God is with you, and the world, the flesh, and the devil, to their dismay, will one day lay down their weapons and confess once more that they can do nothing against a soul who possesses and is possessed by God.....
There is open warfare against you, my dear, so you need to be vigilant at all times and to put up strong resistance against it, always having the eyes of faith turned to the Lord of Hosts, who fights with you and for you. Have absolute confidence in the goodness of God that victory is assured. Why should you believe otherwise? Isn't our God more interested in our salvation than we are? Who can resit and ever prevail over the monarch of the heavens? What power do the world, the flesh, and the devil have before the Lord?    St. Pio of Pietrelcina
