St. Dominic

Matthew 16:13-23

“Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me.” Evil can slip into some very tight places. Evil is never far away, even when we are at our spiritual best. Evil is deceptive, appearing as its own opposite. Evil is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The only chance we have against the subtlety of evil is to stay very near to our Lord Jesus Christ in a life of prayer.
