The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed.

Watch him calling together countless devils, to despatch them into different cities till the whole world is covered, forgetting no province or locality, no class or single individual.
Ignatius of Loyola
Image
Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess You have given me. I surrender it all to You to be disposed of according to Your will. Give me only Your love and Your grace with these I will be rich enough, and will desire nothing more.
