Christ has bound our enemies for us and weakened them that they cannot overcome us unless we so choose to let them. So we must fight courageously and mark ourselves with the sign of the most Holy Cross.

God cannot leave us. It is just that our soul is so vast, we do not always feel His lips upon the veil.
St. Catherine of Siena
