                R. From the beginning of our life,
                we are given a guardian angel.
                The guardian angels guard us
                day and night, every year of our
                life.

                    From the beginning of our
                life there is a spiritual battle.
                The devil wants the soul of the
                person from the beginning – There
                is from the beginning the conflict
                of good and bad. Our guardian
                angel guards us.

                These are good angels that
                can help us against the demons.
                We have a battle of good and
                evil in our lives until
                we die.
             

                R. The devil wants to destroy men –
                The devil can in trying to entice a
                man to sin – instead offer him
                an opportunity to be virtuous –
                God gives to man grace to not sin
                and man can cooperate with
                this grace. The plan of satan
                who is attempting to lead man
                to sin – instead can be led
                to a plan of serving God when
                a man does God's will
                against satan's temptations.
                Satan presses down even
                harder on a soul if he thinks
                there is a chance of
                the soul turning from sinful
                ways – he can bring in other
                devils to accomplish the work
                of his, of disorder and sin

                    And God gives grace to help
                us not to sin –

                    We must fight satan's temptations.
                God gives us a guardian angel.

                    A person of virtue is a
                stronger person than any one
                who gives into temptation –
                God is truth – absolute truth –
                Satan is a liar, a deceiver –
                He wants a soul to sin and
                he will try to get them to
                sin.

                Grace is needed to fight satan.
                Virtue is needed –
                Love of God and love of others –

                    The devil wants to try to destroy
                men whose hearts are
                focused on loving God –
                the devil wants to win
                over men who are religious
                and giving themselves to the
                service of God –

                The devil wants to stop those
                leading others to deeper love
                of God and others –

                The devil is filled with malice
                and hatred – he wants men
                lazy in doing their calling to
                God – The devil wants to
                bring down punishment
                and darkness to men –
                injustice, hatred, disrespect
                for authority, for God and
                for others – disunity
                The devil tests a man,
                tries a man –

                God allows us to go through
                    these tests and trials
                    so the man grows in
                    virtues by resisting them
                    and becoming a stronger
                    soul in obedience to God –
                    God wants us to obey
                    authority and this pleases
                    Him, honors Him –

                    Women can give into tricks,
                curiosity, vainness, malice –
                The devil wants the person to be
                ruining their own chance for
                eternal life. Obedience
                to God becomes a habit
                one develops and lives by,
                as God gives them grace
                and they cooperate with
                this grace and resists
                satan's temptations.

                    Disobedience to God leads a
                man away from God and the
                more one gives into the
                deadly sins – the more
                miserable he becomes.

                    God is merciful – if the
                sinner repents –
                God gives us the sacrament of penance –
                We are to make amends to
                those we harmed – God wants
                us to make amends to Him for
                our sins –

                    The devil uses the surprise
                effect to try to lure people
                into his web – he can lure
                them into pleasantries that
                are against Gods will and
                try to tempt them to give
                in -

                    Many times the sinner develops
                deeper and deeper habits of
                opposing God, disunity with
                those God calls us to work
                with and seeking dominance
                over authority is what pride
                is.

                    God blesses us when we obey
                authority and seek God's will
                and do it. We are a blessing
                in the world to others when
                we work in harmony and love.

                    A person seeking to serve
                God is always aware of
                the omnipotence of God and
                wants to obey authority and
                obey God –

                    God wants to pour out grace
                for us to do good. We cannot
                do good acts without God's
                grace – We must beg God for
                help and realize we are
                dependent on God –
