26 We are called to love God and believe in Him, especially during the time of life’s difficulties. The stormy times in our lives help us to move forward each day to the ultimate goal of our existence. How numerous are the demons which surround us! They are so many that, if they could be seen, the sun would be obscured from us. Before admitting the angels to paradise, God subjected them to a trial of obedience and humility, of which we do not have details. The sin of the fallen angels was one of pride and disobedience. Satan tells his clients that they can do as they wish, without subjugation to God’s Laws, they need obey no one, and they are a law unto themselves. The Angels, who chose God, accepted submission to Him and were faithful to His plan of salvation. The angels who rejected His plan were excluded from the vision of God and from eternal happiness. Does the devil know our thoughts? Absolutely not! Only God, Who is omniscient, can possess the secrets of created reality. The devil can only surmise our thoughts by observing our behavior. It is from our behavior that he is able to discern where and how he will be most effective in his temptations. “Brothers and sisters, be sober and watch, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, be firm in your faith.” (cf. 1 Pet. 5: 8-9) Pride, money and lust are invitations for his seductive temptations. Occultism is the great umbrella under which all the practices and forms of satanic adoration are gathered. The most significant of these are magic, astrology, fortune-telling and Spiritism. Satanists consecrate themselves, through a ritual, to Satan. They are extremely dangerous souls. They honor him as a god and see him as a cosmic energy that is present in each man and in the world. When they call upon him, he will emerge in all his power to carry out their most atrocious perversions. The principles under which they work are three: ����The freedom to do all that they wish, claiming no man has the right to command them. ����They are a god unto themselves. Whatever they wish to do, they do without limit. ����All Truth coming from God is denied. Their principles are greatly seductive to our youth. Baptized Christians are commonly called Children of God. But, for Satanists using this term is not conceivable. Satan does not desire brothers or friends, much less children. Satan desires only slaves whom he buys with his great lie of unchecked liberty which is the foundation of Satanism itself.
