St. Josemaria Escriva

I use mycatholic.com as my homepage and I get the writings from St. Josemaria Escriva on the side and I saw this and decided to post it, but then I closed out the window before I posted it. I remembered part of it so I found it, hurrah.

“The devil doesn't seem to be very clever”, you told me. “I can't understand how he can be so stupid: he always uses the same deceits, the same falsehoods ... ”

You are absolutely right. But we men are less clever, and we do not learn from the experience of others ... And satan counts on all that in order to tempt us.

About Me

My photo
Catholic and politically conservative, I graduated with a BA in History (concentration in American) and Political Science. I'm between two parishes; one in Wisconsin that is fairly traditional, and one in Illinois that is fairly liberal. I teach CCD. I work in the food service industry, which basically means I'm working in fast food until I find a better job. I'd like to work for the church somehow. Right now I'm working on getting my teaching certification, although I'm unsure thats the correct path for me. This blog is as random as I am. I hope you enjoy.
